Hello everyone,

I have a bottle of m100 and just did 3 up-down and 3 side-to-side passes on a Low profile Blue Cutting Hydrotech pad with a Griots GG on speed 6, wiped residue and put more compound and did it again the same way (so 12 total passes) and didn't get nearly the correction I wanted on my hard GM clear. Will M101 be a better alternative? They both say the same aggressiveness on the bottle, but some people have been saying how much more cut M101 has so I was wondering if anyone could lead me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Roshan
 
M100 is designed for a rotary. Try some M101 with a MF pad.

Do you have any MF pads to try with the M100? I'd be interested to know how it turned out. Do you have any 50/50 shots of what you've already did?

I do and I will try some microfiber pads next. And no sorry, its hard enough for me to see the scratches, let alone take a picture of it.
 
Try a MF cutting pad and report back. Did you prime the cyan pad? M100 is awesome for me thus far. M101 does cut faster, though.

I think M100 & M101 are the new big boys in town.

Agreed. I haven't tried M100 with foam pads, but it sure does kick a** with a MF pad! Wipe off is a breeze, and there's more working time than M105.

I think MF pads are the way to go when doing heavy correction with the DA, and foam pads for lighter polishing compounds. At least in my experience, thats worked out the best for me.
 
Keep us up to date on that. I'm dying to get ahold of some 101 myself. Figure I'll have to grab some MF pads while I'm at it as I've got some type 2 water spots on my wifes Denali that I'm either going to get out with 101 or end up doing something nuts like unigrit on it.
 
I'll try the m100 on MF pads today and get back to you guys :) Thanks for the help!
 
didn't have to go to work today so I tried M100 with MF pad on GG on speed 4.5... didn't touch the defect. Tried 3 separate times, doing 6 passes each time. My arm speed was extremely slow: 1 inch per second or slower. The pad was primed properly and actually I got much less dusting than with a foam pad.

I'm starting to think that I'm looking at a paint defect. What I'm looking at may just be under the clear... I wish I could take a picture of it, but it's so hard! I tried a few times unsuccessfully. Guess I'll just have to live with it :/

Dude what happened? What this defect there prior?

Well if it is under the clear, then yeah it had to be there as my hood has never been repainted.

It could be that the defect is in the clear and M100 simply doesn't work to well on a DA. At least that is what Merlin saying and I trust his comments on it. I might have to try some 105 next.

If the defect is in the clear, I think it may have something to do with my previous stripes. I used to have rally stripes (bought my car used and they came with it) and I found out they were aftermarket and horrible quality. Taking them off was an extremely nasty business. When I took them off they left the adhesive on the hood. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, was touching the adhesive... had to put gasoline on the car to remove the adhesive. It was crazy, but did the job. Still there were plenty of opportunities to scratch the paint when doing that.

Here is what the stripes on my car used to look like:

Sorry, this is the only picture I could quickly find that is from the front

gahh, I would love to but I said I wouldn't buy anything! Give me a few days to consider?

Maybe in the meantime, someone else will take you up :props: That'll make my decision easier lol
