Nice job! I plan to work on a friends s2k this weekend as well. And it will be my first full detail with the Rupes 21 too. Im guessing the FG400 and mf pad works great even on the soft paint?

Im ready to try out these newer compounds! Ive been using m105 for the longest and really dont like it lol! I would love to be given a chance to review this

Are you using the 6 or 5 inch pads?

I literally said "wow" when I saw the after pictures! Could you say what make and model the car was? Also how many section passes did you have to do to get to the results? I've been eyeing these pads for a while, and seeing that you used them on a rupes 21 makes me want to try them even more...

It wasn't dirty, just dusty because its been sitting in my garage since I was done doing paint correction. Just doing a quick wipe down from the dust in the before the owner picks it up. And I agree about not doing a waterless wash on this paint too. Not worth the risk for me

No offense taken. I used more because the UWW bottle has a special design to it, so when I poured it in, more from the bottle portion of the bottle poured in :bash:. And new towel as in freshly washed, sorry. I don't have any "brand new" towels at the moment. Also, it wasnt major streaking or...

I just used some UWW and I got streaking. I think i used too much UWW in the dilution though. I turned off all the garage lights and used a led light and i could see very faint streaks. I used a new MF towel to buff off but it was just pushing it around. Could my towel be contaminated with old...

Thanks for the clarification. I will be doing a black 8th gen civic soon. I'll be sure to compare the difference between them. In regards to the MF pads, The LC left barely any haze,while the Meg's MF pads left a noticeable amount. But as a trade off, the MEgs cut a LOT faster than the LC pad...

Check out this Nighthawk Black TL I did a while back. 2010 Acura TL Nighthawk Black Pearl - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum You can compare how bad your swirls are to the TL. If you only have light swirls, I would suggest something like m205 or HD polish and a...

The wash mitt gets my paint just as smooth as regular clay. Maybe you didn't do enough passes? I bought a second one because I liked it so much. The time saved is more then worth the price of it.

Did you tape off a section? Does the line coincide with where the tape was?

If I'm not mistaken, those conversions are for water. Being that iron x paste has a different density, the conversions will be off. It would be hard to tell how long a bottle will last unless someone showed you how much was left in the bottle after an application.

Currently in the same boat! Lol

You are absolutely right opie, however, I believe he used UQD AFTER he removed the LSP, and not before applying the LSP.

does the center of the pad get too matted down for the bug sponge to work effectively for anyone else? I found it the bug sponge to be pretty useless to flush the fibers up. I had to resort to a tooth brush. I want to try the denture brush next time. I also saw some fibers flying off when using...

check out this article by Todd Helme on using m205 and mentions what kinds of speeds to use. Tips to acheive a flawless finish with M205 and a DA polisher - Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum not sure if the link is allowed or not.

So cquartz can give a darkening effect to the paint?

I've noticed the same thing as you ride5150. It was the first time i used m105 and m205 with white pad looked no different. However i'm sure if i had better lighting i probably would have found some micromarring. I went over it with m205 anyways. It might have helped a little because I see no...

Re: New Formula OPT products vs... Did you perform any IPA wipedowns? specifically in the m205 vs OPT Polish II. I've been reading a lot of the oils in m205 and was curious if polish II had any fillers. Oh and great review! really opens my eyes to new compounds and polishes

I had a sample of WGDGPS from autogeek and it was also watery. I had to shake it vigorously for a very long time and it finally turned into a thicker cream. Keep in mind this was the 2oz bottle, so you may have to shake even longer for the container your size. I applied it to my gf's car that...
