Black 5.5" LC flat pads and the 5.5" CG hex pads are the two i've used. I found no real difference between the two styles.

Anybody know any appreciable differences between Optimum Poliseal and GPS?

Black pads are the only ones I've used with 85rd and that combo worked very well.

Nice work cleaning them up. I always see this on light colored leather when attending the manufacturers auto show that comes around each fall. Never quite got why they would have tan/light interiors for people to sit in at those events.

Agree that ease of use is not a strong suit of 105, but it gets results. Not trying to attack you on here, just thought it was odd that you weren't seeing any better results using 105/205 vs the Megs otc stuff. Sorry if my comments sounded as an attack. Mostly wanted to clarify that 85rd is...

Depends on the paint you're using it on, ime. On my car's factory paint (red) I didn't see any appreciable difference between finishing with M205 & 85rd. However, the repaint on my hood is a much softer clear and there was a big difference there in favor of the 85rd.

RE: Kris R, Just a couple thoughts. To my knowledge 85rd was not discontinued, but simply renamed. I have gotten stunning results using it on soft paint. Also, having used all of Megs OTC products, as well as M105/205, I can safely say that if you're not getting good results using 105/205...

Maybe dry ice would pop it off?

I don't see any reason why you can't do spot corrections on the paint. You'll just want to tape the areas off to ensure you know where to go back over with sealant after you're finished. However, one thing to keep in mind is that if you're doing the 105/205 combo on an area, it WILL look...

Great post! Bookmarked for easy viewing.

Hmm, maybe less is more with the soap? I figured more would do the job better, but maybe it's too heavy a mix to fully foam? I've got some CG Maxi-suds on the way as well. Good info. I'll try giving it a shake first as well. If it's already foamy in the container it would make sense that it...

I also saw the other day that Home Depot has semi-clear buckets with measurements on them for $5.

I just used M205 and a 4" ccs white pad.

Didn't try that. It may have worked, but I had a sample of 85rd that I really wanted to use and it came out perfect.

I picked up this same setup yesterday and have already done three washes with it. :xyxthumbs: I do like it, but the Megs GC doesn't really foam as much as I was hoping. It's decent, but not as foamy as the demo video at the beginning of this thread. The suds don't cling for more than a minute...

Do you understand the purpose of permanent paint coatings and how they completely differ from clear coat?

I sucked it up and went to the Walmart in my area last night. I was greeted by the sight of 4 police cars in front, with officers arresting a couple guys. Inspiring. Went inside to the car care section and it was a mess with the Megs "starter kits" pulled apart and missing things. Anyways, they...

I would say that whether or not you see any benefit from 85RD will depend upon how hard or soft the clear coat is that you're working on. On my personal car I don't see a difference between finishing with M205 or finishing with 85RD, but I have seen big differences on cars with softer clear.

Have you driven in the wet since applying both products? I originally thought the Armor All coated wheels had tar on them...

M205, in my experience on softer paints, will still leave very small amounts of marring. P085rd takes care of that and leaves a flawless finish. I think the vast majority of cars end up looking great after M205 though.
