I did some more work on the car yesterday. The HF cutting pad I bought worked out ok, but it was very stiff compared to my Lake Country pads. It also started to deteriorate after about 20 minutes of use, and started crumbling. The pad surface is OK, but it is coming apart near wear the velcro...

Picked up the last orange pad they had left at HF today. It was only like $4.50...figured it would not hurt to try it. If they would have had more I would have gotten those too, but there was just one.

Thanks for the comments on my work and my posts. I try to be as thorough as possible, that way the people reading this can help me. I'm still learning, and I don't know the exact things to do at times. That's a good thread on that C5 vert. Luckily, maybe my paint isn't as hard as the factory...

The paint may actually be exactly as you all describe. I am not sure. it just seems difficult to polish, it seems like I need a more aggressive compound. The Ultimate is working, but it just seems like it takes forty forevers..(What I know now is it takes ten section passes with an orange pad...

One thing for sure..nobdoy seems to have this M105. Just got off the ohone with a pep boys about 30 miles away, and a carquest who has am auto paint side to the store. Neither one had it either. :(

I got some more work done last night. Running out of daylight sucks. I wish I had a lighted garage of some sort; This type of work is just about impossible to do in the dark. Again, the plan was to iron out the system in the test spot, and then move on and try to do the entire roof before...

Welcome there..I'm a tad north of Montgomery. I just got my PCXP about a week ago and mine does not do that. I'm using 5.5 pads right now.

Ok, time for an update. Yesterday, as promised, I tried the Ultimate compound. It worked out alot better than the TSR, but it still was proving to be a little tame for the small scratches. Here are some shots of the work. I used a quarter in one of them after reading the thread Mike has about...

I have not been to Advance yet. In my previous post, I stated that I had found and picked up the Ultimate compound, and that I am going to try it this afternoon. If the Ultimate compound doesn't work, I'll drop what I'm doing and head over to Advance tonight (it's about 20 minutes away in the...

Local Autozone had the Ultimate compound so I picked that up. I'll give that a shot tonight. If that doesn't appear to be working, I'll drop what I'm doing and head over to Advance in the next town over, and see if they have the 105. If not, I'll order it. Let's hope the Ultimate compound will...

Big alabama fans here..

Great info guys...Thanks. Just had a conversation with Hoytman about the M105 vs Ultimate compound. I am going to hit the same stores I mentioned tonight and see if I can find the Ultimate compound. I have an Advance near me as well, so I will check them out. They could have the M105..but they...

So the Ultimate compound will give me good results too? How would it compare to the 105? I can get the 105 from autogeek, but I'm probably gonna have to pay two day shipping to get it to me by friday. If I can get the Ultimate compound anywhere and it will get these scratches out, I'll surely...

Well, no luck. I hit an O'Reillys, autozone, and walmart yesterday, in addition to one of the paint supply stores near me. None of them had 105 or 205. I did buy a bottle of Diamond cut compound, thinking it was the same thing as the 105 (just a newer brand name change). I called Meguiars as...

I do realize you guys are just trying to help. I know how delicate this situation is because of the previous attempts, and I'm just trying my best to save what's left. Not in to letting anybody else "try". I know I can do it, I just have to find the best combination of pad and chemical. The...

Point taken and understood. will I be able to use the 105 with my PCXP? Pad recomendations? Follow up? Would this replace the Wolfgang TSR and should I just go to the Wolfgang polish after 105?

I wonder how much difference there is between the megs 105 and Presta Ultra cutting compound? From what I've read, not much... The problem is that I would like to use it with the D/A but I don't know if a foam pad will work though.

I wonder if I can get 105 Here locally?

I got my package in from autogeek today and went to work on a test spot with my car. If you have not seen it, my black Corvette is pretty swirled up, and in addition to that it has wet sanding marks. The last detailer who did the wet sanding must have loaded up his paper occasionally, because I...

I've got the Wolfang swirl remover combo coming for my car which has the SWR and the 3.0 finishing glaze. I will be using the PCXP as well. My question is in regards to applying the Klasse sealant glaze. When I get through doing the polish step, should I clean the surface in any way before...
