M205:
After being disgruntled over M105, I was surprised at how good M205 was/is. I used a PC on speed setting 5 (for orange pad) and 6 (for gray pad). Best attributes were a long working time resulting in about 4 or more section passes, along with its versatility. I used it with an LC orange CCS pad, and was able to get 95% or better defect removal on all the panels I used it on. Following that, I used it with an LC gray pad for the final jeweling. It's almost an all-in-one polish!
I have a bottle of Menz PO85RD coming in this week. I wonder how this compares to it?????????
Menz Powerlock:
Very similar to WGDGPS. I applied it using a PC/red LC pad on speed 2. It applied very easy. I let it sit about 30 minutes or so, then wiped it off. Literally wiped off just like WGDGPS. Looks-wise, I would say it is once again very similar to WGDGPS, however, the one difference I did notice is that PowerLock leans more towards hard candy shine while WGDGPS leans more towards a bit of a wetter look. Not "drastically" different by any means, but when experienced people like us AG'ers work with tons of products, we start to notice the subtle differences. As far as durability, I won't comment because I pretty much never let any of my vehicles go beyond 3 weeks before I do "something" to the surface... more so, applying QD's, spray waxes, etc...
Here's some pics of my G after M205 and Power Lock.
