  • Meguiars M105 on Mercedes Faded Red Check this out!!!!

    Well i knew i had a Red Vito Van for a Paint Work correction job so i thought to myself i will use as normal Meg’s M83 with a Polishing Pad and then work my way up and depending on how bad it is i would do 2 or 3 passes or change to the Meg’s cutting pad.
    I then had to top up my supplies so i called Matt @ wwwi4detailing.co.uk to get my M83 ordered as i knew i was going to need a lot for this job. I was on the phone to him and he said that he had just taken delivery of Meg’s new M105 ultra cut compound. After a little thinking about the product i thought i would order it anyway as i knew i would end up using it on something.

    This was the van before i started it had been sitting out in the sun and had faded badly. So i thought i would tool myself up with my Rotary on a meg’s cutting foam pad and try this M105 out.
    This side of the van took me 2 hrs to do. I would do 3 passes @ 1000rpm then 4 passes @ 1500rpm then 4 passes @ 1200rpm and then a final 2 @ 700rpm
    This next picture has only been cut back using Meg’s most aggressive Cutting Compound on their scale. I can’t believe how good this stuff is.

    Give Matt a phone and order a bottle and see how good this stuff is. I thought it was going to take two days just on the paint but i ended up correcting the whole van in one day.
    Good Time’s!!!!!!!!!!

    You coded your images wrong...

    Locate the image in the size you want to share in your PhotoBucket album and right click on it to get the photos exact URL Address and then copy and paste this URL Address into the dialog box that opens when you click on the image button on top of this message box you're typing in.

    This one...

      Looked at your code, looks like you typed this up in MS Word or Frontpage as I see this kind of code in your message in code view.

      xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com


      Sometimes you can copy and paste out of other software and sometimes you can't.

      It usually works to copy and paste text you've already to typed up as long as you click on the code view button first, this one in the upper left hand side just above the Smilies




      You'll lose formatting but retain a normal body of text that you can format by switching out of code view.

      Don't know how much of that makes sense...

          Oh yeah, by the way:

          Excellent transformation. I need to jump on the M105 bandwagon.

              techjazz, you just beat me to the punch!

              Paul, you did an awesome job on the van. How nice must it be to get the job done in half the time you expected. M105 does it again!

                    Looking at the 50/50 shots. What a dramatic improvement. That is a fantastic improvement. Great work. Way to go. Another testimony for 105.
