What did you do detailing wise today?

I had very interesting results with both M100 and M101 using a DA with the different pads.

How do you feel about the m100 vs m101 comparison, specifically when using MF pads. Also, what is that sponge in the above picture?

After using both products with a DA I personally feel M101 wins above M100 Hands Down!
I'm sure M100 has its place with a rotary & wool but IMHO it didn't compare to M101 w/DA.
I haven't tried M100/rotary & wool yet. This was my comparisons of M100/M101 with a DA.
M101 finished down so well I didn't even use M205 as a follow up. For me M101 was 1 step.
I'm amazed at the finish. One pad (orange), one polish (M101) & I had a "showroom" finish.
No multi-pad/multi-stage...put right index finger in your left nostril & hop counter clockwise.
One pad - One Polish - Done. and the orange pad to boot! Did I mention I really like M101?

So to answer your first question.
M100 Cut Ability with a DA
1st Surbuf
2nd MF cutting disc
3rd LC flat orange

Did M100 work with a DA? Sort of, I went over areas multiple times and there were still swirls.

Now to answer your second question.
What's the sponge? I don't have compressed air to constantly keep the microfiber discs clean.
I've been using the Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad for years to clean MF discs on-the-fly.

I found when using M101 with orange foam pads you need to constantly keep the pads clean.
Clean at least once between each panel & sometimes (usually) a time or two during the panel.
For on-the-fly I use the Foam Pad Conditioning Brush. I'm amazed at the "dust" when cleaning.

Nice addition Al! :bigups

I see several here try and decide on on one two models, which one did you select?

I chose the 15. I have a Flex and a UDM 1.0. For what I do the Flex is fine for correction but I use the DA more for AIO/paint cleaning and LSP application.

I had planned to replace the UDM already with the GG but the reviews were not much different than the prior models so decided why wait. I have worked planned soon as the weather warms up so decided to be ready.

Al, do yourself a favor and try the Rupes 15 at correction, too. It may not be quite as awesome as the 21, but I would predict you will really like it there, too.
 
The way I understand it is the 15 vs. the 21 is the orbital rotation. Is the 15 smaller in overall size than the 21?

My understanding the only difference is the orbit and backing plate but Mike can confirm since he owns both. The 21 comes with 6 -in and 15 comes with 5 but may depend on who sells it. The body is the same.
 
I believe that a 5" BP is available for the 21? Can anyone input on this?

I did a rinseless wash and interior cleaning of my daily driver.

Product used:
  • Blackfire Rinseless - two bucket (actually ONR in rinse bucket)
  • 9 microfiber mitts
  • Microfiber towels to dry
  • Ultima Waterless Wash for wheels
  • Poorboys Bug Squash 3:1 on cowling - flushed with residual rinseless
  • Chem Guys Nonsense 20:1 on carpets - at 20:1 did not seem to be any more effective than water to clean mats
  • Metro Vac n Blo mini
  • Mothers new Leather Tech wash and moisturizer - interesting product
  • 1z Cockpit Premium on the interior

I also checked air pressure including the spare. The 60 psi compacts can lose a lot of pressure in 3 to 4 months.
 
Did some light paint correction on this 2013 Ford Focus. I was amazed at how the paint was already covered in micro scratches from inproper washing. Didnt get much pics as I didnt have a outside light and I was working against the sun. I did manage to get a few though. I ended up having to use a pink LC pad and some PoorBoys world SSR1 to remove most of the scratches. Then followed that with a white LC pad and PoorBoys world polish, followed by a black LC pad and Black Hole glaze. Of course it got topped with BFMS.

It is sunny and 45 today. It was warm in the sun but still did some inside work. I got the electric heater going in the garage. It started at 48 and got it 60.

MKZ: I cleaned the glass inside with Mothers Glass Cleaner and used Sprayway on the exterior.

Dakota: I vacuumed the interior with the Metro and cleaned the carpet with Chemical Guys NONSENSE cleaner. The jury is still out on NONSENSE even at full strength.

I also applied Mothers Protectant on the interior then I removed water spots on the exterior with a Rupes 15 and a 5.5-in Lake Country Tangerine pad and Mothers Water Spot Remover. I cleaned the glass inside and out with Meguiars Glass Cleaner.
