M9 replace M82 ?

[KC's]

just a quick one
Both me & seech is arguing whether can we finish off black paint with pure rotary without marring, light hologram under sunlight

& if yes, what is the product combination? M9 or M 82 or M205

BTW, we hv tested with
M105/ finishing pad
M80/finishing pad
M86/polishing pad

worst still if it is polished with M83, esp when it dries up (mot sure if the weather is too hot here)

p/s DA is good but no one could afford usd 444 for it

Try M82. I've definitely followed heavy M105/wool/rotary work with M82 and gotten truly 100% FLAWLESS finish. I've done it on family vehicles and seen them months later, so I know the results are true.

I have had fantastic success with M82. I was able to fully remove all remaining swirls and holograms after using wool and M105 via rotary with M82 on a very hard clear coat. The final finish was one of the best I have personally ever seen. It looked an inch thick and dripping wet. It's also a fairly easy to use polish.

Thank you sir

would give them a try

Re: M9 replace M82 ?

M82 and M205 should both give outstanding results, but how you use them is as important as what you use. Slow that machine down, as slow as 900rpm even, and keep the pad flat flat flat against the paint. Move the machine slowly - give it time to work and really finish the paint down. If ever there was a time to really finesse the finish, this is it.

Re: M9 replace M82 ?

Can M82 be used by hand?

Re: M9 replace M82 ?

M82 can be used by hand, orbital, D/A or rotary.

M82 can be used by hand, orbital, D/A or rotary.

Thanks Michael again

Re: M9 replace M82 ?

It can be done (finishing with RB only). Another factor to consider might be the paint itself. All the #9, #82, #80 & #205 gives great results if used correctly.

Hey KC,

Though M82 and M09 are very similar, having used both for a long time, I do indeed see differences. While M09 may have more TS Oils, I have found M82 the better choice to use with the rotary polisher.

When using M82 with the rotary as a finishing step, while it can be done, it is highly dependent on the hardness of the paint. I use much slower speeds, but I also use more product than usual when finishing with a rotary and M82. The last thing I want is for the pad to dry out allowing it to add to the cut of M82. So make sure the pad is always clean and use the weight of the polisher only to buff the finish...

If you have M205 as an option however, I would use it instead M82 or M09. Again, while both M09 and M82 are excellent products, I just love M205!

Re: M9 replace M82 ?

Tim. Thanks for the feedback. M205 is very very expensive and we were just wondering if we would be able to get 'similar' results with M09 or M82. I was leaning more towards M82 while KC was suggesting M09. The only issue with M82 is that there have been cases in more humid locations where the polish separates itself and becomes very watery.

Might have to get a small bottle of M205 to try out first......

TimG, right now on really soft paint I use the ROB with M80 and it finishes great. KC and I were just wondering if it were possible to do so with just a rotary.... I guess we're trying to determine who has more kung-fu... AHAHAHAHAH....

It is too bad prices vary so much depending on where one lives...

Yes, you can certainly use M82 in place of M205, though M205 is a little more aggressive. I am not sure why your product is separating.... Shake the M82 and see if it goes back to a creamy liquid. If it does, it is the heat/humidity and you will have to shake it quite often ( I have had this happen with M81 Hand Polish).

Like I said, I like M82 better when used with the rotary, but with the DA, I like M09 as the extra TS Oils add a little extra "pop" to the finish.
