M105&M205 ... should I also need M83?

[stanclub]

I got both M105 & M205 to be used with rotary buffer. Should I consider having a bottle of M83 for mild cut than M105???? If so, what is the case that I am suggested to use M83, but M105 w/ polishing pad ( I use this combo to get less aggressive cut )?


I also got UC for hand application. Will it be ok to use with rotary buffer?


Is M105/M205 combo that much better than M83/80 ???

I stay with the 105/205 combo.
Use the UC by hand. I think by rotary the 105 would be the way to go.

M105 is the most aggressive compound so with rotary buffer and cutting pad you'll get the most correction power. M205 is a perfect follow-up to remove any imperfections left by M105. If you need more polishing power you use it with polishing pad, if you need less then finishing pad with M205 would be good enough. M80/ M83 is far below M105/ M205 combo in aggressiveness. If you needed less cut I like D-151 Paint Reconditioning Cream. You can totally control its aggressiveness with pad selection.
UC was mostly designed for DA polishers.

The M105+M205 combo works realy great. Unfortunately for some type of paint is the M105 too strong to leave absolute gloss. You will remove all scratches and swirls but the paint can remain little bit hazy. It is mostly problem of black paints - last time I solved it on Hummer H2 with black paint. But no reason to be scared, there is simple choice how to fix that to absolute ultimate result

In this situation, the only one thing you need is very light polish that will restore perfect gloss. If there is the M205 strong, the M80 series and especialy M80 is great tool to this job thanks to dimishing abrasives.

That is my experience - don't think that the M80 series is over after Meguiar's found M105 My favorite compound is M85, only if this is not stron enough, you can find M105 in my hands

Enjoy your work and results!

If you work with any single stage paints, keep some #83 and #80 around, they seem to be a bit more effective removing oxidized paint than #105/205.
