Correct...M101 was designed for rotary application...specifically foam cutting pad on fresh paint on a sanding mark. But as an unintended side effect...it kicks major booty with a DA.

I would expect it to be shorter cycle relative to other compounds. But if you are experiencing a hard wipe off, that could mean too much product used in the application or too many passes. Pad choice and environment have impact on the result as well. M101 has a very high density abrasive...

I am on my 3rd read of the book. I really enjoy this book. Not from the perspectve of a prospective detailer or one currently in the business...because I am not...but from the perspective of coach, mentor, and trainer. Additionally, I represent a prominent brand in the professional detailing...

Chris, I'm not offended by you at all. I'm sorry for venting with you like that. I feel bad that you have been misinformed by your source. And closed cell is not a bad word with me. Lots of pad lines use both closed and open cell foams, including Meguiar's. As you know, they each have their...

I don't know how "the guy" can sleep at night. He did not design the pad for Meguiar's. The only closed cell foam version "the guy" did for Meguiar's was the very first version for auto OEM factories. I'm going back over 10 years ago. This version of the pad never made it to aftermarket by...

I was on the development team for M105 and M205. I can assure you that one of our objectives was NOT to make a product that required lots of learning and practice to use. I have the same offer. Anyone can contact me...I will talk them thru how easy these products are to use. It's true, you...

The system is good to use for your car. If you have refinished panels, just do test spots on this panels. Read labels. Watch YouTube videos of the system. You will be fine.

Of course! Great point! I didn't think of that, but it's a perfect example of paint's elasticity.

Interesting question. I'm not sure a sub-surface phenomenon measured in microns can be photographed. However, an evidentual outcome of swelling is the reduction of top coat thickness after a while. This can be measured. Also, the surface roughness changes with swelling and shrinkage...this too...

With all due respect Chris, this information is not accurate about the Meguiar's Microfiber Cutting Disc. The foam is not closed cell.

Jason "Waldo" Rose? What does that mean please?

Absolutely correct sir. M101 was 100% made for the refinish market in Europe/Asia. They do in fact have very different paint chemistry, appllication methods, and expectations than USA. No one is saying that M101EU will not be launched in the USA. And no there was not a master plan to crank...

Kaban, unfortunately what you have read is incorrect. M101EU is globally regulatory compliant. D300, though made primarily for DA application with the Meguiar's DMC microfiber discs, it happens to work great with a rotary application and foam pads. Jason Rose Meguiar's, Inc.

Thanks Renny, and Rasky, (and others on this thread) for your comments, suggestions, and pics. It's unfortunate and embarrassing for me to report, that my 30 years of detailing cars has impacted my health. I have respiratory issues from years of using compounds and not wearing a mask. I have...

Kurt, I'm not on then boards much anymore either. Best ifyou use microhook backing plates with our MF discs. Yes, M105/M205 combo works well. You may find M105 dusting a little more with MF discs. D300 eiminates this. Thanks for your note. Jason
