M95 Speed Cut Compound - Nick's Review
This weekend I got my first chance to try #95. There was never much talk about this product, so I just never bought any. Not sure why people have ignored #95, this is an absolutely amazing product! #105 is also a very amazing product, but here in Texas, #105 doesn't take too well to heat. It gums up and dusts really bad, creating frustration for myself. When the temps drop a bit, #105 is my "go to product", but in high heat, it stays put in the van.
So this weekend, I had a 2007 Trailblazer SS to work on. Completely black, and in horrible condition! 1.5 years of nothing but automatic car washes! This thing was swirled to no end! (I'll post up some pictures in the next couple of days)
First up to bat was #105 via rotary and a wool pad. Gummed up and dusted....next! Solo and a wool pad, worked well, but still needed more cut. This went on and on, going through every product I had available. Nothing was cutting it!
So I went back to the van and pulled out the #95 I had just bought. Figured nothing else worked, why not give it a try. Started out with rotary and a red Solo wool pad.....instant gratification!!!
Removed the swirls and scratches with ease! Never dried up! Work time is measured in DAYS! not passes! I couldn't believe it. Tried another spot, same result! Not really sure what they put into this product, but my personal opinion is, a gallon of #95 consists of 2 quarts of #105, and 2 quarts of 10w30! Yes, it's that oily!
The #95 and red Solo wool pad left some buffer swirls, had to get those out right? So I whipped out the black foam pad and attached it to the rotary. It worked extremely well! Much better than I ever expected, and a cleaner result than with #105 or Solo on a foam pad.
But, it still left a couple of very light buffer swirls in the paint. Most would have let it go out the door like that, but I wanted a little more....Lets give #95 a whirl on the DA and a yellow foam pad and see what happens......
HOLY SMOKES!!!
This is the new #80.....on steroids!! Absolutely a FLAWLESS end result! And wet wet wet!!!
Normally, when you work a product with the DA and a yellow pad, you get little "ticks" in the paint. Not sure what the technical term used to describe these marks, but it looks like a feathering effect of sorts. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about
#95 left NONE of this! Even with a yellow foam pad! Never seen that before
Tried another spot, same results! WOW! We're talking about FLAWLESS results!
Something that usually can only be achieved using a rotary to do final polishing! How is this possible?
Finished the Trailblazer off with some #26, and got it all delivered to the customer. He was blown away!
You guys really need to give this product a try. I know it states that #95 is rotary only, but in my opinion, this product smokes anything available for a DA application!
It produces incredibly flawless results, with very Little effort. Of course, if you have major swirls/scratches, it's best to remove them with a rotary first, then work on to the DA.
I'm going to do some more testing with this product, because you can't judge it just using it once. But if it performs half as well as it did here on this Trailblazer, then this will be a must have product in my van!
