Meg's 205

[Bicycle]

Like to hear how you guys are using 205 as final step? Using a Flex, speed and technique??
thanks.

What do you mean by final?

It's fine to end with before waving.

It would be my polishing step after compounding.

Re: Meg's 205

White Hybrid pad on speed 4-5 usually is what gets me there. I also hit 6 when I want to move quicker, but generally like to take my time.
My approach/technique is about 3-4 sets of overlapping passes in a 2' x 2' area.(that's one application and repeat if necessary)
I check the pad after each pass but definitely brush lightly and use a towel to remove excess compound after 2

I will switch out the pad when it looks loaded. It shouldn't be dirty since the compounding would have resolved that.
About 8 whites are what I use, more if needed. I also use SF4500 after the M205 much the same way, but with lighter pressure.

This seems to work for me.

Re: Meg's 205

Flex PE8 is good for this even tho, it is a smaller Machine but you still can change the backing plate to match the size of the buffing or polishing pad. ( up to 4 inches pad, personally, when working the polishing or finishing step, I usually use the pad no more than 4 inches pad because I like to work on 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 section at the time to be sure that the work will come out clean and neat )

As from my experience, Using any Flex machines with an Lake Country CCS Orange pad for M205 is a perfect combination ( do not get me wrong, the MG Microfiber cutting is also great for this, but if for someone that is not familier will flex machine, it will go through the clearcoat and the paint in seconds )

1.) Prime the pad with M205 very good.
2.) Using a good small dot of M205 ( about 3 dots after a good primed on the pad )
3.) Spread the M205 with speed setting 1 about good 2 passes
4.) Bump the speed up to about 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 ( Depends on the condition of the paint " this can be as one step correction " )
5.) Using hand speed a little faster than Hand Speed for DA like if moving speed on DA is about 1sec per inch then it will be about 2 - 2.5 inches instead. But again, it depends on the condition of the pain,
