Porta, you beat me to it!



I have been using the MV-350 for several months now and really like it. It has a great cut, spreads easily, has great working time and leaves a decent finish for a compound. The only negative thing about it is the dusting, which is really not a big deal to me because I always wash the vehicle after the compounding stage. It works well with both foam and wool too. I forget how much I paid, but it was a very fair price compared to Menzerna, 3M and Meguiar's. I will definitely be buying more in the future.

Could you please elaborate on the working time? Is it M105-short or OCP-long or, uhm...what? :confused:
 
I also like the MV-350, nice cut and nice finish, but I'm in love with M105, hehe, you should try it Marcus ;)

To me, their scale is on the weak side. 105 does work well on some med. to softer clears, but on hard clears it does fall short. It's great at removing quick scratches while giving a good gloss, but the deeper defects it does struggle a bit.

For quick mild corrections where time and gloss are only the important factors, 105 does amazing for what it is. On full blown corrections where perfection is very crucial I find 105 can not keep up and does fall short.... While it does give great gloss, I am more concerned with the paint under the gloss.





My own brief explanation...

MV-350 has a much better cut, works a lot longer (20X), gives a better gloss, works with any pad. It is a multi stage compound, meaning if one wants true correction, you work it till everything is perfect while inspecting with IPA. If you want quick gloss with mild correction, then work it quickly till the gloss is suitable to your liking (no IPA).
 
Compared to M105, MV-350 has a longer working time and has quite a bit more cut. It finishes off very nice for a compound, but not quite as nice as M105. It works unbelievable on a black Tuf-Buf lambs wool pad (from Micro-Surface) with little, if any micro-marring and is capable of removing very serious defects. The holograms left behind are very minimal and are easily removed with a medium grade polish (SIP or similar) followed by a finishing polish (106 or similar). MV-350 works well on both foam and wool pads and dusts like most other compounds do. It has *very slight filling abilities, which an alcohol wipedown quickly takes care of.



It works similar to 3M Extra Cut (06060), but has a slightly more agressive cut and finishes off a bit nicer. The working time is about the same, maybe a little longer.



I was skeptical when I first purchased this product, but after a few months of use it is now one of my favorite compounds for heavy defect removal.

Ah, very informative, especially the comparison with 3M EC. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.
 
Stick with the M105 for your day to day corrections since it'll work faster and leave a better finish than M95, if you're in it for the money you can usually get away with just a two step M105 and M80 which is a real timesaver. But if you wanna stick with megs, M95 will be great for heavy correction the M105 just can't touch. The M95 works longer than the M105 which will help with deeper swirls. Or just use more M105 to extend it's working time and hope for the best. Though over apply M105 and it'll gum up your wool.
