7424 & m101

Probably very well. I hear M101 has a lot of cut.

I use a lot of Ultimate Compound, and M100 using green buff and shine grip pads. They do all do a fantastic job!

I honestly have been using M100 with a standard 8mm DA polisher paired with buff & shine's flat 5.5 inch white, orange, or yellow euro-foam pads (based on paint hardness) as my go-to 1-step for the past two years. I honestly didn't believe M101 could possibly have more cut and finish better. But the last few months I've been using it with Meguiar's thin burgundy cutting discs and it truly does cut FAR more than M100. The only other compound (other than scholl's s0 matting compound) that can actually come close to matching M101 in cut, is Menzerna SHC 300 which is a bit more expensive and leaves a noticeable haze. If m101 didn't smell worse that FG400 and cost twice as much as m100, it would my primary compound. It's that good.

So to answer your question, it will cut EXTREMELY well, even with the PC7424. Especially with the 3.5 inch and 5.5 inch pads
 
It will do great so long as you enjoy the 7424 and keep it rotating. Add in a MF Pad instead of foam and it will cut through anything fast and safe leave a nice really good finish, only a very minor haze and is really easy to remove. It will dust a little though.

M101 is my go-to compound on rough cars.

Did use a 7424 on this but it was with M101 and Griot's MF Pads:

M101 smells worse than FG400?

Yikes!
 
I agree.

Both M100 and M101 are very good compounds no matter what the tool.

They both use very good abrasive technology, the most important factor when polishing paint plus they have long working times and low dusting characteristics.


When it comes to wool pads on a rotary buffer M100 is top notch.

how would m101 work with the porter cable 7424xp with thin 5.5 foam pads

Just be sure to do a test spot first and be prepared to do a follow up polishing step to insure no haze left by the compounding step. I would not recommend M205 but take a look at any fine cut polish in the SONAX brand like any of these,


SONAX Cut & Finish

SONAX Cut & Finish

Sonax Profiline Nano Polish 3/6, sonax nano polish, sonax perfect finish, sonax profiline cut finish





If you go this route, please post a follow-up as to your results and experience.

Also since this was your first post to the AGO forum...

What makes you not recommend M205?

Mike, I've lost track of the number of times I've viewed that video. Even have "the contents" in my notebook for additional reference. That video, and your work in it, is *the* reason I bought a GG3. Although, I did end up using Mirka Abralon discs instead of 3M's Trizact (cost was a factor).

So yeah, thanks for making that video available!!:xyxthumbs:


End result after 3 passes of damp sanding, 1 pass of compounding, and 1 finish polishing.

Why would you recommend not using M205? According to AGO M101 page it states

"For best results, follow Meguiars M101 Foam Cut Compound with Meguiars M205 Ultra Finishing Polish. This will further refine the surface and provide a wax-ready finish."


Thanks,
Ron

I'm dying to hear why Mike doesn't recommend following m101 with m205

I believe he says it can leave micro marring on some paints

Then my question is why use M101 in the first place if I will be limited in the polish that I can follow it up with? Specific situation? Certain types of paints?

Kevin Brown states specifically on his website

"Meguiar's M101 Professional Foam-Cut Compound leaves a very nice finish.
Follow-up polishing is not always necessary when using M101, but plan on having to do so. The most important thing you can do to achieve optimum finishing results with M101 is to keep the buffing pad clean. Further, it is not necessary to use high machine speeds when using M101. Should any micro-marring be present atop the paint surface once compounding has been completed, follow-up by polishing the surface using a dedicated refining polish and a finishing pad (use a liquid such as Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish or D301 DA Microfiber Finishing Wax, applied via a foam polishing or finishing pad)".


Both of these guys are experts with differing opinions here. I can only believe if we knew why they differ on this it can only help increase our knowledge with regard when to best use M101 and optional follow up polishes.

I'm thinking the recommended Sonax would cut quicker and finish better.

I have never used it so I don't know. Lately I have favored Hyper-polish over M205 for my go to.

But a thread like this makes me want to finally purchase some EX04-06 or Nano polish.
