Currently I am using 83 and 80. Sometimes the 83 is hard to remove, would adding some 80 to it be anything of value or a big no? Or just remove it when I go back over it with the 80? Also for something stronger than the 83, I am looking at 95 and 105 correct? With 95 having a longer working time? Thanks guys!
 
I was using #80, #83 & #105 last weekend and #105 was just on a different level than the other two. I was using my G110 on the Mitusbishi Eclipse and #105 was taking away really bad swirling with a single pass (as compared to 4-5 passes with #80).

You were using the 105 with a DA? I'm interested in how this finished up?



What color paint did you work on and what pads did you use? Did you need to hit it with a finishing polish? This stuff (105) hits their abrasiveness scale at a 12 and therefore is much more aggressive than 83 (a 6 on their scale). With 83, I find I often need to finish with 80 for a perfect finish. How does the working time compare to 80 and 83?



Sorry for all the questions.
 
You are going to want to follow 105 with something like 80. It's designed to be a heavy cutting compound that leaves a better than heavy cutting compound finish....that doesn't mean LSP ready finish. It means you may be able to get away with just 80 before you wax instead of something like 83 then 80 then wax.

Yes and it finished pretty darn good, but when I do the entire car (tomorrow), I'll be finishing with 80.



It's one of my good friends cars and it has horrendous swirls ALL over. I'll certainly take pics.

Blue/purplish finish (I think it is a 2005 or 2006 Eclipse convertible). I used a 8006 pad. I would say if I wanted it PERFECT I needed to use #80, followed by some #7, just for looks and NXT 2.0.



Yes, I'm the same as you with #83 and finishing iwth #80, although I have to tell you that I think I liked the finish better with #105 than #83.
 
Could I mix either 80 or 83 with the 105 to help "lubricate it" more and give it a longer working time? I know people mix it with OC, but I don't want to buy 2 products.
 
Hi User name,

I know that you use lots of meguiars products and so I want to know whether you've tried 83/105 with some cutting pads or you just obey the rules and just use them with polishing pads only? Will abrasive products like 83/105 work well with polishing pads as these products are not polishing anymore and they are intended to cut more, right?

You should not be leaving the product on too long, or working it until it creates a thin white film. Try and adjust your process and work time to avoid that buildup.



BUT, if it does build-up either use some spray detailer, spray water, or preferably 50/50 Last Touch/Water to wet it and then wipe it off gently. :bigups
