I have been using M105 and M205 for awhile now and I have just ran into a problem trying to remove some "light" scratches from my F-150...I've tried every thing I know of...Heavier pressure, more product on the pad, more passes, different speeds on the Flex DA...I'm at a loss...I can't catch my fingernail in the scratch so I know it's not too deep to be corrected...And not just to be knocking the M105, I've also used Optimum's Hyper Compound...I have been using Lake Country CCS Orange trying to remove the scratches...Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! TYIA!
 
Try the MF Cutting disc primed with D300 and use M105 to do the compounding.

Pictures of the scratches would help out the others here to see what you're dealing with.
 
I know pics would help...but trust me, it's something that should be easily corrected...Little white scratches...I'm not the best at uploading and showing off my work. But I might do the Meg's Microfiber System if I can't work this out.
 
I just polished my F 150... the clear was so hard I had to use 3 M super duty compound to get the swirls out

Its all good man, if you can it would just help others trying to help you.
 
Thanks man I appreciate that...I'll have to order some 3M...I just thought for sure the "Bottle of Rocks" M-105 would have taken care of it.
 
Not sure what year F150 your working with but Menz Power Finish followed up with Menz Super Finish worked really well on my 05.
Here's my best 50/50

If you were ever going wet sand, I would do it with 3000 grit. But let it soak in soapy water for an hour, before you lightly sand it.
 
Cutter it's really not that big of a deal. Get yourself a sheet of 3000 grit and a pink eraser as a backing pad and sand in the same direction. You don't have to get all of the scratch out just say 80% or what ever your comfortable with at first and then compound it as you normally would any other scratch you normally get the other 20% then. Once you have done it then you will see that you really never had anything to worry about all along. If nothing else try it out on a beater first to get the feel for it.

You make it sound so easy...But these scratches are really superfical...really not deep...I guess I could bite the bullet and dive into wet sanding...I hope I don't mess it up!!!
 
Try to get a panel at a junk yard first before working on your own car. Better safe then sorry. :xyxthumbs:
 
yep. I was planning to do that...Not going to ruin My Truck!!! lol...Thanks Bud...
