Haha I actually had more but I was so tired of uploading and stuff lol. I love GTR'S especially this one with a little more then 700 to the wheels, it was fun to drive

Personally I don't think it really gets any better than the M105, M205 combo in general and with the right pads the results are just mind blowing. :dblthumb2:

That's my opinion and I am sticking to it. :xyxthumbs:

That could be true but I'm a sucker for always trying new things lol

Oh I do also, but it seems that I always return right back to Megs and it's been that way for almost 3 decades for me.

There are cases where the M105/205 combo simply isn't the best choice IMO... while these situations may be few and far between, it is always best to be over prepared than under prepared. I particularly find the Meguiar's products are "out shined" on soft, finicky paints (ie Porsche Black and similar). It seems the DAT products (I use menzerna and sonax currently) excel in these trickier situations.

With that being said, I always keep M105 & M205 on my shelf with them as they are truly great products.

good point, thats how I feel. do you use sonax perfect finish and if so is it worth the money? I plan on getting some fg400 and sf4000 next

Great work !!! Love those cars..:dblthumb2:

thanks! me too lol ill own one eventually

I do have SPF and have enjoyed using it. It is a nice one step polish and works well on softer paints, too. I would recommend it, but now it is being said that it is not recommended to use SPF if you are going to be applying a coating afterwards because SPF contains some fillers that some say may be difficult to remove with a typical IPA wipe down.

Side note: consider CarPro Reflect as a great finishing polish that is perfect to use before applying coatings. I have recently tried Reflect and absolutely loved it.

Great work my friend!
