Yeah I would have went with the gallon of HD also. As far as the 105/205 goes. I probably would try the 205 first by itself. I asked this same question on the Megs forum and Mike but I was torn b/t #80 and 205. Mike told me to try the 205 first. Hope this helps

 

will a ziploc bag work?

well i pick it all up tomorrow night....$250 worth

 

Why don't you give the ziploc bag a shot and let use know how it works. You could just swing by Lowes or Home Depot and pick up a standard spray bottle. I'd store the concentrated HD in the generic spray bottle and use the HyperDressing Spray bottle for the mixed HD since it has the dilutions on the side for mixing.

 

Wash out an empty 2 liter pop bottle.

 

some how i was able to get this stuff in the house before starting to detail the truck....should have gotten more pads....spaced on that...would it be ok to use the same pad for both 105 and 205? or should i keep the harsher 105 to its own pad and use the 205 and 7? just clean it really well between? or skip out on the 105 for my first time with a da and get another pad for it...yeah ill do that sorry for the ramble

again i picked this up in person from rick, great guy, we chatted got some good and bad new, no more f150 online discount page...for now, but he is working on it, but the new site is much easier on him. my buddies that came with were amazed by how clean his van was







and all packed up nice and neat

 

Only use the 105 if you need to. That is if you try 205 first and it's not working. Pads are so easy to overlook. I've done it. Not a problem anymore. I made sure of that. I only use one product per pad, atleast not without washing it properly. However, if you try 205 first and find it's not working then I don't see the harm in stepping up to 105 on the same pad. Definitely don't go the other way though.

 

whats the best to use on my truck, it has some pretty harsh swirlign on the hood? then what would be a good product to finish with? i read this thread and see 105 and 205 is good. but would it be aggressive enough for me? im thinking about ordering a DA. tired of looking at all the marks under street lights!!!

 

105 will take out 1500 grit wet sanding

truck is half clayed and gonna turn it around and get the other side(no shade...)

 

so just get 105 with it? anythign to top it off and get a nice finish? what extra pads would i need? i already have nxt 2.0 and can get #7 or #26 to use as well

 

use in this order

wash
clay bar
205
then if that didnt get it all out 105 then back over with 205
7
26
nxt 2.0 24hours later

i would get a pad for each so 5 pads total 3 polishing for 105, 205, and 7 and 2 finishing for 26 and 2.0, the da package 2 comes with 2 polishing and 1 finishing so you would need an additional polishing and an additional finishing

(for the pros) am i correct? im sure there is pleanty more he could do but thats about the basics (i think)

 

I will be doing some paint correction for the first time once this winter is done. I'll probably try the 205 and maybe some 105 if needed. Question: Is #7 really needed after the 205 or can I go straight to wax/sealant? Thanks

 

I'm not familiar with Meg's pads but if I was using 7 I'd use an LC finishing pad so maybe a Meg's finishing pad. I'm not sure how they compare.

 

You can go straight to wax.

 

good to know(didnt) but i think ill do it anyways for that extra pop, i always liked 7 applied by hand.....

 

Man Cole, Im gonna pay you to do my truck right one of these days It deserves some good attention and a decent detail haha
