M105/205 and M83/80

[76Celica]

I have always used the 105/205 combo and it's great but I am having to use the 80's combo for a single stage older paint. Is M83 to be used like 105 for a cutting compound and then m80 like 205 for the polish? Or are there other better combination's?

#83 is much milder than #105/UC.

But you can use #105, then #80. I mean, you can still use #205 for single stage, it isnt like it is dangerous or something. But #80 will have a lot of polishing oils, where #205 would probably be helped with #7, etc after.

Ok great. Would you look at a stronger 80's product like 85 etc for the cutting and then 80 to follow up?

No, the numbers dont work that way.

#84/#85 are rotary only, pretty heavy duty.

#86 is meant more for fresh paint, though can be used in other situations. Got some numbers for mold makers in there...

I mean, if you needed #84, ok... but would be odd anymore I think, for detailing.

Re: M105/205 and M83/80

Well, #83 is stronger...

In theory, you would do a test spot with #80, see if strong enough. Then go up to #83 is needed, and follow up with #80 if needed after that.
