M100 Pro Speed Compound

[thepanchmx]

Well and what about you "michael" will sand and cut a new paint, what will you choose, m100 or m105?

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

so m100 is more aggresive in a rotary with wool pad than m105? im a little confused.

No, but the cutting ability is quite close between the two. M100 is designed for "mid tier" body shops for removing sanding marks from fresh paint using a wool pad and rotary buffer. It was never really designed nor tested for DA use, microfiber use, etc. Obviously anything designed to remove 1200 grit sanding marks is going to be fairly powerful stuff, but how that translates to different processes is where things change quite a bit. For example, our M84 & M85 were also designed for this purpose, but they're a bit "old school" now and with their heavier diminishing abrasives they tend to be very poor companions on a DA buffer. M105 with it's SMAT abrasives can work very well on a DA, and M100 with it's next generation SMAT abrasives has shown in some very recent reports to also be effective on a DA - specifically the Rupes 21 Bigfoot with a microfiber finishing disc. Cost differences between M105 and M100 will also come into play for some people.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Yes. Thank you for your help. I think I will go down to my PBE and buy some 10 and see what it does. Thanks for the response!

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

As Nick points out M66 is basically a cleaner wax, albeit a very good one. M100 is a true compound, and it's more closely related to M101 than even to M105 even though it uses SMAT technology. M100 is a solvent based compound, like M101 is, and it really its design target was for rotary application with a wool pad, as Nick mentioned. Of course, we know people are going to experiment once they start hanging out on detailing forums, which really is how M105 came to be the go to product for so many people using DA buffers. M105 was not originally designed for DA use, but when the masses speak, we tend to listen. Which is why M101 is now sold in the US.

Jeff, does that answer your question?

Brandon, have we totally confused you yet?

Now, should you decide to experiment with any product by using it outside its design intent, just remember that you are indeed "experimenting". That means you may or may not get the result you're looking for. Depending on your application process, the severity of the defects, and the composition of the paint itself your results could be quite poor, or they could be outstanding. When we develop a product for a specific target, like M100 is targeted to "mid tier" body shops looking for fast results with minimal swirls when compounding with a rotary and wool pad, we aim hard for that target and really focus in on that. If the product then happens to perform well in other situations, then that's a nice bonus. If not, well, we weren't designing it for those other processes so..... Just keep in mind that when we develop products in the Mirror Glaze line we do so for specific needs in the body shop industry.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Can this be used with the new DA Power System?

It's not designed for that.

...But no harm in experimenting I suppose. People have experimented with other products outside of what they were deigned for (M101 on a DA with foam pad for example) with sometimes stunning results.

...Just be prepared that it may not play well either...

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Why does the name P-h-i-l-l-i-p-s keep getting blanked out?

We are going to pass this on immediately so it will be corrected shortly.

I do not know. I just want to know if the product is similar to #66. I guess a quick call to Meguiars Tech this morning could help me out.

Jeff,

Meguiar's M100 Pro Speed Compound is a body shop, wool pad, rotary polisher applied compound for quick removal of sanding marks or severe defects, all with minimal clean up or polishing. Meguiar's M66 Quick Detailer is a cleaner/wax, excellent for high production environments such as a detailer/detail shop, car wash, car dealership, looking for a quick one step solution for removing light defects, restoring a high gloss and providing a durable wax protection.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Hi Mike,
On the picture where mike ******* has the product on the mustang's paint finish the product looks very similar in color and consistency to 66 quick detailer. Is the product similar to 66 in the way it buffs? I understand it is a compound, but I was curious how it compared to a product I use and am familiar with. Thank you!
