Been off the board for a while so been doing a lot of reading. I have been using 80/83 combo on my pc for quite some time now. But I hear they changed the formula.



So I'm a fan of Megs and want to know what is a good combo to replace it. I'm seeing m105 and m205. Will 205 always finish nicely on black with a pc?



I'm also reading 151 is the replacement for m66?



And what works well by hand for the customers that don't want to pay for a machine to be used on their vehicle. Aside from just a clay and and some type of sealant I haven't found anything to use by hand. Thanks guys. Good to be back.
 
I don't get the pay for the machine. I would charge twice as much to do a job by hand. It takes twice as long and the results are not as good.



By the way I like D151. It works great for a quick job on white or silver car
 
I wasn't sure how much you had to work the polish in to get some depth back to the paint. I usually clay and lsp and it wows most people. But a once over with 66 on the pc always worked well.



What about 80 and 83? I thought they worked great on basecoat clearcoat. But if 105 and 205 would be better I would go that route
 
Personally I like 80 although the newer polishes like 205 might be easier to use due to the fact that the diminishing abrasive in 80 sometimes takes more skill. I also have Uno 3.0 and love the stuff. It is a lot cheaper than 105 if you get it on sale and dusts a lot less.
 
I'm so used to it at this point. I find it easy to use along with 83. I just want to make sure in the end I have the same end result. And mainly for my vehicles or someone who is a car fanatic.



Hell I use gold class on my customers cars and they rave over it
 
The 83/80 combo is fine for moderate swirls of softer clears. The problem is many cars today have hard clears that 83 won't do much for. The answer to these is the new 105 or D151 products. Uno is also a great alternative as its more user friendly and has much less dust/cleanup issues.
 
Exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to learn a whole new product line. So if was to do 105 by rotary the 205 will def clean it up by pc? Or is 151 neccessary

D151 is a one step polish and wax. If you use the 105/205 combo you will have to wax afterward
 
I practiced a lot yesterday with the new Flex. One thing that was removing all the marring on a white van, was putting 4 dots of 105 and 1 dot of 205 in the middle of the pad. This was on orange foam. V3 of Uno with the new foam pads worked very well as well- better with the Flex than it did with the Griots. Hard to tell under lights which was better, but I'm still drawn to 205 for every dark colored car.



I have not used any of the 80's (numbered, no era) products by Megs. so can't really compare beyond what is above. The UNO is very easy (effortless) to remove. With the Flex, 105 does not dust like a rotary so that's not an issue either way.



Oh.... the new foam pads with V3 (thicker backing and stiff) move VERY smoothly with the Flex. They are smoother than any other foam pads I have.
 
Wags, FWIW, you can purchase smaller quantities of the D151 from ADS. Othewise, it's by the gallon only.



Enjoy.
