Hi Merlin,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your process and pictures! Glad you like the stuff.
Couple of things I thought I would share for you to try based on your feedback -

try speed 3-4 for the compounding, and even a final pass at speeds 1.5-2, which may help reduce dusting a bit, and also improve finish even further.

For polishing, we have found that if ever M210 doesn't knock it out of the park from the get-go, switching to a firmer polishing pad and/or really dropping the speed down can help take the finish to the upper levels of truly flawless. Hope that helps!

Thanks again,
Markus - Pro Product Manager

Thank you for your response. I'll try both of those product/process changes and let you know my results.

Interesting...slower speeds and firmer pad...Thank you again!

Correction:
Rupes 21 MK II - w/5" backing plate - Speed 4+
Meguiars 5" microfiber cutting discs
Meguiars M110 - Prime pad and a few very small pea-sized drops.
Slow arm speed and light to medium pressure (heavy pressure not needed)

Polishing:
Rupes 21 MK II - w/5" backing plate - Speed 4+
RUPES Yellow Fine Foam Pad - 5" Dia.
Meguiars M210 - Prime pad and a few very small pea-sized drops.
Slow arm speed and light to medium pressure



Yepper, when I ran into you at SEMA you were doing demos of the new M110/M210 twins.
I begged, cried, pleaded and downright made a fool of my self trying to get you to let me take some home.
A couple of the other detailing big dogs (Jason Kilmer etc.) were there too trying to break the new Megs twins and couldn't.

No tiny samples, nothing!!! I ordered it as soon as I got home and could find it and I was chomping at the bit to give it a try.
Yes, I bought them with my own dime!!! Now that said...I'm still a big fan of M101 and I hope it does not get discontinued!
So just in case, I also ordered a few quarts of M101 for my personal "stash". It is still a favorite and an awesome product!

Now the above quote is about as good of feedback as one can ask for!
When you get a minute, I'd be happy to know what machine/pad you used to cut.
More details the better. Definitely keep us in touch for future uses!

The finish I was able to achieve with M110 and M210 was truly remarkable.

Thanks for sharing Merlin. Would be happy to hear what you think about the new 110/210.

In the interior hood pic (1 up from the bottom) you can see the Scangrip Multimatch light. You can not find a swirl in the light (or sun).
IMHO the M110/210 is a winning 1-2 punch combo. I did find some light dusting in the air with M110. It was not caused by the pad/panel.
This was a fine dust in the air. Now it may have been my environment but later the dust settled on the paint and was easily wiped off.
The finish I was able to achieve with M110 and M210 was truly remarkable. It looked like a wet black mirror with tires. He was blown away!
