I will continue to use M205 with a finishing pad but will probably experiment with a Black SOLO pad on my next order.

I also use a finishing pad with #9 which I won't be using much any longer with M205 out.

FWIW - I would suggest getting a finishing pad.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't he be using a polishing pad for M205.

and just so everyone can see where i stand this is my cart at ADS


Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut New Version - DA Polisher Approved
32 oz. Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish
Meguiar's M07 Show Car Glaze [remove]
Meguiar's Mild Professional Detailing Clay
Meguiar's Hi Tech Applicator Pad 2 Pack
Meguiar's Paint Reconditioning Cream, 32 oz. Sampler
Meguiar's G110 Dual-Action Polisher Express Kit #2
Meguiar's Hot Rims Chrome Polish Liquid
I ran this by Mike and he suggested that I try M205 over #80 first. These are his exact words

"Definitely give the M205 a shot first as it's more geared to clear coats and will finish out much nicer. Use the same techniques shown in the DVD and use a polishing pad like our W-8006 or W8207 on the 5.0 Speed Setting and work small sections at a time, about 18" to 20" squarish or so, you don't want to tackle too large of an area or you won't get the swirl removal, (paint removal), you need to create a swirl and scratch-free finish.

Have fun"


I hope this helps
