M07 necessary?

[EPHIOS]

I tried using M07 on my hood after using M205 via G110v2. My paint is black, and pretty good condition. Applied TechWax 2.0 as LSP. It turned out great! Then I got curious...

I wash my car again, then clayed. I use M205 with finishing pad @ speed 3, no pressure. I already know my paint is clean. But this time...NO M07. After the application and removal of TechWax 2.0, I did NOT notice any difference in shine, gloss or depth of my paint.

Maybe M205 and TechWax 2.0 polishing oils, made up for M07's?

Re: M07 necessary?

Clear coats and newer paints just arent going to respond as much to polishing oils. So a new clear coat will be least.

With some oils from the other products, you probably gave the paint all it could use.

Re: M07 necessary?

M205 has a pretty decent amount of polishing oils in it already, as does NXT Tech Wax 2.0, so in combination they should do a fantastic job for you. We've always said that use of a pure polish like M07 is an optional step, and that becomes even more so when dealing with a modern clear coat and/or when using a polish wax like NXT.

On a clear coat finish that's in good shape, you'll probably notice more of a difference using M205 than you would with M07. This is due to the fine finishing abrasives in M205 and the level of clarity they can impart on the finish - something M07 can't do.

In my books polish like 07 is no longer required.

Simply too much effort with little result.

I switched to sealants instead, now that's something!

M205 + TechWax 2.0 = Great Results!

For me, M07 is too much effort to get little added result on my clear coat.
