Hey everyone, wanted to get different opinions on the pro's and con's of using either M105 (meguiars 105 compound) and OHC (optimum hyper compound). I've had great success with M105 (most of the time), but depending on the climate, weather and other such conditions can make using M105 a real nightmare! Sometimes the product works like a dream and at other times with flashing (no matter how slow or fast you work it) and gumming it seems to take more time to apply and take off then worth IMO.

So I wanted to get a sense if anyone has used M105 and switched to OHC or any other similar compound due to the other factors that might make M105 hard to use. I use to use OHC due to the infinite work time and ease of removal.

In my opinion if I'm spending more time buffing but spending less time removing it is lot more cost effective. Passing the buffer over an area is less time consuming and less effort then trying to remove flashed and gummed M105.

Please write of your experiences and any comments or suggestions that you might have.
Thanks
 
I have never used OHC, but have experienced the same issues with M105. I am currently using Flex DA/Orange or Yellow/M205 with great results. I'm still trying to get M105 down. Would love to hear others opinions.
 
To compound (no pun intended ) lol the problem I'm using rotary which adds to the problem with M105 temperament.
 
I'm using Meguiars W4000 buff n shine wool pads on a 9227 makita (rotary). I'm using anywhere from 900-1500 depending where it flashes over depending on the weather and so...
 
One member mentioned that he doing a IPA wipedown after claying which I never thought of doing. He had a good piont that this removes the hazing and glaze you get after claying. I believe that this might help in the gumming issues I'm getting.?. Any ideas or suggestions ???
