A friend of mine just picked this car up a week ago from a local Ford Dealer. I honestly do not know how their detail department gets away with putting out this kind of work! This car was in the worse condition out of ALL the cars I have done so far..keep in mind this is Ford paint..its moderately hard. Also keep in mind this was 1 WEEK AFTER Ford detailed it.. :eek3: :banghead: :thumbdn:

Id also like to mention that this was my first time using M105, I dont think a polish/compound can get any better than this! Most of th reviews say its got a learning curve, maybe I just did enough research before I tried using it. this stuff is no joke, it literrally removes ALL defects in 20-30 seconds whereas SIP/PFW would have taken atleast 3-5 minutes! It would have taken 4 passes to do what I did with M105 twice to get the same results...I have definitely found my new favorite!

50/50 with SIP/PFW..not quite enough but almost.


This side with M105/Burgandy Wool. It left its own marring but it removed all defects very well and in VERY LITTLE time. Was almost effortless!


This side with SIP/PFW. I got a pretty good finish with this combo, however there were still traces of defects throughout the panel and took considerably more time to remove less defects. So I chose to do the car with M105.


SIP LEFT/BEFORE/M105 RIGHT


I did a small section over my M105 panel with 106FF/LC FLAT WHITE and found no holograms just as TSC17 said! Saved me ALOT of time!

One of my favorite pictures I took..

 

SUN SHOTS!! Kinda..there was a little overcast :eek3: :LOL:

 

Wow! That looks really good. Tremendous improvement.

 

Thanks!

 

Wow!! you did an amazing job taking the scratches out of the black paint which is the most scratch showing paint out there! question: what did you use to take out all those scrathces??

 

Megs M105 and a burgandy wool pad was used to get the swirls, scratches out, then followed up with 106ff on white foam. Thanks!

 

good result.

 

thanks!
