Looking for some cut

[Phimp27]

Today i busted out the polisher and my DAMF and worked on my hood. I think I have a diamond coating instead of clear coat. I have a couple of scratches on my hood and went to work on them. I made 4 passes with the DAMF and nothing. I broke out a LC yellow pad and UC and did 4 passes with that. It made it a little less noticeable but not much. Should I break down and try the M101 or M100 with the DAMF. Or should I buy M105? I am using a Meguiar's polisher but the v1. Should I also upgrade my polisher too? Thanks ahead of time guys. Also I have tried to get those scratches out before so in total I have probably 15 passes on those scratches. I can not feel them with my fingernail either so I don't think they are deep.

Re: Looking for some cut

Which product with the MF?

How much pressure, how fast are you moving?

Is the mf a cut disc?

Re: Looking for some cut

105 should work. try them all and see which one works better.

Re: Looking for some cut

I have fallen in love with M100 and M101. When my M105 is gone it will not be on my must have list. Depending on how severe your defects are either one of these on your v1 w/mf pad should correct the problem if used with a little patience. I understand the v1 is a little anemic compared to the v2,griots,Flex or Rupes but with enough passes it will do the job on most surfaces. IMO.

Re: Looking for some cut

I was using the d300 with the mf cutting disc. I cleaned it after every pass and used enough pressure to keep the pad spinning. I would like to try all of the products but it doesn't make sense to buy all of them for just my car. I just do this as a hobby to make my beater shine and practice so when I get my new car I'll be better at it. I was thinking of trying the m101 with mf. I have a 99 ford explorer. Has anyone had trouble with these before?

D300 was made for the MF system.
Why do you say you want to use all the products and then you say you don't want to buy everything?
M101 is made for a foam pad on a rotary. Just stick with what works.

I have the same issue on my paint. I think I did 20 passes on the same spot with little to no progress on certain scratches. I happen to own M101, M105, UC, FG400 and everything else but I was unable to get progress. Finally I just polished and called it done. You are in Ontario which is a short trip down the 10 to west covina. I could get you a few samples of the products if you like.

^^^very nice offer

Re: Looking for some cut

Even though D300 was designed to be used with the MF cutting pad, many people have experimented with M105, M100, M101 on the MF cutting pad with great results.

Sounds like your scratches are stubborn and/or your paint is hard. I'd go straight to the M101 from here.

Re: Looking for some cut

Thanks for the input guys. Thanks for the offer s word. If I decide to try it I'll hit you up. Or more likely when I get more time I will hit you up. PWMD what I meant was to say I would love to try all the products but it's just not sensible for me to go out and buy $150 of liquid to just try out. Like I said it's just my car and I only work on it when I have time. Full time work, Nursing school and 2 kids in sports takes up 95% of my time. Thanks for everything guys.

Sure thing, PM me when you need something. I am here. Literally a few blocks south off citrus and 10. I am offering so don't feel like you are invading. I don't have M100, I pretty much have everything else but containers for the samples. I have a 2nd little one due any day now so I know the time constraint. And if you want to even bring the car over for a few minutes for me to look at the issue I am willing to help out if I can. If you haven't used a Rupes you can have a stab with mine. That and DAMF 6" finishing pad equal some amazing cut. Combine with M101 and now you're golden.

I would venture to say more M101 is being used in professional applications with a da then rotaries. We all know once these products get into the hands of detailers that every combination under the sun is attempted. Now with the introduction of long stroke da's such as the Rupes and Dynabrade da head, the rotary is seeing less and less use. With two rotary machines in my shop ,the da machines are being used more often while the Makita and Flex gather dust.
