My 2001 Acura TL has been a great car; I have had it for 12 years, and 172k miles. Until earlier this year I was taking care of my car all wrong, and with this car being white it’s hard to see all the mistakes. Then I bought a black car and wow all mistakes are visible no matter what. So today I did some correction with M105, and M205. It was my first time using M105 and didn’t know what to expect, I have read reviews about dusting and not letting it dry.
Yes there is tons of dusting, and I did have some dry on the car I had to use blackfire waterless wash to remove it. As an amateur hobbyist I must say the results are great with m105, but please please take your time and work a small section at a time, and expect to dedicate 3 hours to polishing and clean up, before applying LSP.
Wells here’s some pics, first capturing imperfections in a white car was a challenge in its self. I think I spent close to 20 mins to get a good pic, and still ended up with some mediocre shots. The paint had swirls, rids, and waterspots.
The products used today.
To Wash
Meguiars Rinse Free Express Wash 128 oz.
To Polish
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound 8 oz. New D.A. Version
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish 8 oz.
Lake Country Hydro-Tech Low Profile 5 1/2 x 7/8 Inch Foam Pads
Meguiars Dual Action Polisher G110v2
Deluxe Jr. 600 Microfiber Towel 16 x 16 inches
BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Waterless Wash
For LSP I went with BFCS
Create WHIPLASH on paint, plastics, and metal!
After doing a rinseless wash with Megs D114 I primed the pad like Todd said in his M105 video. I worked the product into pad and let it sit for a couple of minutes. And at a speed of 6 on my Megs GV110 I went to work.
Heres some before shots, again it was really hard to capture RIDS, swirls and waterspots.
The Dusting
I used the purple cobras to clean up the m105, DO NOT LET IT DRY!!! You will spend equal amount of time cleaning it up as polishing.
Overall I was really happy with M105, the results are astonishing and with a Cyan LC Hydrotech pad the results were LSP ready.
Here is the finished product. No more waterspots and swirls!!
Enjoy and feel free to ask questions
