Setec Astronomy said:I think you're missing the point--Meg's #9 is less aggressive than 205, but you're listing it as your intermediate polishing step.
Setec Astronomy said:You're still missing the point--why don't you switch the #9 and the 205? The idea is to progess from coarser to finer polishes and pads. Or 105/yellow, 105/orange, 205/gray...I'm not even sure you need a yellow pad with the 105...how about 105/orange, 105/white, 205/gray? I don't think the methodology you're following is taking best advantage of the SMAT abrasives.
RaskyR1 said:Yep! I agree with Setec that the yellow LC is not a great pad as it marrs the heck out of the finish. 90% of the time M105 on an orange pad will achieve the results you are looking for. Depending on the paint all you should need to do is follow it with M205 and a white or black pad. Some paints may benefit from another step and most people will use PO85D, FPII, 106fa, or UF to refine the finish further. #9 can actually be used as a jeweling polish too but the others seem better IMO.
Hope that helps. I can PM you a good chart they created over on TID if you like which shows the aggressiveness between Megs and Menz polishes and pads.![]()
