So I've been using UC/SwirlX and my bottles are just about empty. DI had a sale going on, so I decided on stepping up to m105/205. My question is, what kind of difference can I expect from UC/SwirlX? From lurking on here, it seems like m105 has a short work time, and can be a little finicky and prone to drying? Some also have said that M205 has a fair amount of oils in it and IPA wipedowns are near mandatory? Other than that is there anything I should know? My first car is going to be a newer (mid 2000s) F-350 that needs some serious correction on the passenger side. After that, I will be doing an '03 Toyota 4Runner that again needs a fair amount of correction. Thanks for any advice. I really hope the work time is as short as people have said it is, that is one of my chief complaints about UC.

You'll love it, once you learn how to use it. It does have a learning curve.ThrillHo said:So I've been using UC/SwirlX and my bottles are just about empty.

Interesting topic. I too would be interested in hearing from those that have used both as to what could be achieved with using one combo vs the other. UC/SwirlX is designated as a consumer line product, but does that just mean that it works best when used by hand or DA vs a Rotary or what?

But what of the new spray ones? since they don't dust I thought the new thing to replace the 105/205 was the spray ones? =[

Man, I would shoot myself if I had to apply UC by hand. On anything but the softer clears it doesn't correct nearly as well as I had thought it would with my GG RO. But being part of the consumer line, I guess they don't want too agressive of a product in a noob's hands. This is why I'm looking forward to the cut of the 105. :Geezx
