  • m105/205 question

    so im about to go at my car with the m105 / 205 combo, i was just wondering if i should wipe the residue off while it is still wet or let it dry first, before i apply 205

    Wipe it off while it is still wet.

    Are you going at it by hand or machine?

      Wipe it off as you go. You might want to inspect your work as well. I typically check my work after each section pass. I'm not good enough to assume.

      I also suggest you place a tape and cover areas you don't want to have to clean up later. You'll be glad you did the prep work. Even it's just a sheet over the windshield and wiper blades.

          i hit it up with 105 with the dewalt buffer than 205 polishing and swirl removing with flex
          than seal it with 21 but clay first check your results and then comment

            You want to work small sections at a time, roughly 2' x 2', and work the product until it's almost gone, then wipe off. Do a test spot first and evaluate your process carefully before doing the entire car. There's nothing more frustrating than thinking you've finished the car only to find you're initial step didn't do exactly what you wanted. There's no magic here, you need to use proper technique to get the job done.

            You'll find that M205 will give you a much longer buffing cycle than M105 does, so you can work it for a very long time. But M205 should also be wiped off before it dries. Only your wax/sealant should dry before removal.
