M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

In the beginning of this thread, it says:

"Permanently removes swirls and light defects from all paints"

Does this mean that M205 can be used instead of SwirlX, with the added bonus of being a polish as well?

M205 is not as aggressive as SwirlX in terms of its swirl removing abilities. Could you use M205 to polish out swirls rather than SwirlX on some paints? Absolutely, I did on my own car. But generally speaking M205 is going to work best as a follow-up step to use from something with more bite unless the defects/swirls are incredibly light and/or are in soft paint.

Thanks, Mark.

Is it ultimately another case of determining how tough a job you have in front of you, and picking the right product?

Correct! It's quite tough to do so... especially with such an extensive line-up of products to choose from.

If you can spare the cost, I personally think having a bottle of M105 and a bottle of M205 is a must for anyone that correct paint. They are both such versatile, effective products I can't imagine life without them.

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

That's right. I bought a bottle of M105 and M205. The M105 is barely used while the M205 is used about a quarter of a bottle.

It really depends on the type and volume of work you do. For me, I specialize in full paint restorations on vehicles that are used and abused and nothing short of M105 will do the trick for the initial knock-down. I buy my M105 by the gallon...

Then again, I bought a gallon of M205 too

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

I have for the first time used M205.

It was a bmw 330xi that had been living under the trees and leafs and that sticky (*Edited for foul language- Mark Kleis) from the trees dont know the word in english they hade made the roof and hood look realy bad.

I tried first by hand with a medium pad just working it like 1 min. AND WOW ! it just cleaned/polished the area in to perfection..

So i hooke the medium pads up on my Cyclo DA and when for a test drive with the M205 and i gotta tell you, 3-4 passes with pressure and then 2-3 passes with only machine weight and BAAAM you got LSP perfection... And so easy to wipe of the residue.

Im totaly blown away with the easy handling and the perfect results.

I cant imagine what my M105 can do on a more neglected car. anxious to try it out

I just wanted to tell you guys how great this product performed in my firt try

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Nice car you´ve done.
Dont even think about using #105 on a BMW.It cuts way to much.Try 2X #205 and get a better finnish.Remember that BMW pain is medium/hard,and very easy to work with.

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

How does this compare to 3M UltraFina, or SwirlMark removal.??

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

My buddy Dave, Kickin_Griffin on here I believe, says that this is a product that exceeds Ultrafina. To boot, it has more cut than Ultrafina. It also uses an abrasive that does not diminish. That means it can be used with a polishing pad, high pressure, and higher speeds to remove moderate swirls.

It can also be used with a finishing pad and no pressure for correcting light defects or to create a refined surface. Because 205 doesn't break down, you can work it in until the desired correction is achieved, without waiting for the abrasives to break down to prevent holograms.

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Here are the results I achieved using #105 / rotary followed by #205 / DA the topped with #21 on a Lexus LX570.



Here is what I used for paint correction. When I took this pic I didnt think I needed the DA. When I checked the finish in the sun I did notice light buffer marks. I DA'ed the finish with #205 to get it perfect. So a DA should have been included in this pic.

I realize this is a super old post but I'm "totally" new to these products and want to start using them. What is "finished up with 21? Did a search but could not find it. A friend recommended that I start using M105 & M205. Said that's all I need to detail my black Mercedes and new Ram, Silver Diesel truck. I have the PC and Flex buffers with large pads plus backing plate and pads for 4" ~ all necessary colors of both sized pads. Do I do a pre-detail cleaning and then start out with the M105, wiping that off and then buff with the M205, again wiping that off and then add whatever this 21 is? Tks. I'm totally lost with all these products. Spent over $5,000 with another detailing company and simply put, tired of all the wrong answers.

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

#21 is the wax/sealant that was used at the end.

What condition are your vehicles in?

You may find it best to start a thread and post some pics of your vehicles, and maybe closer view of the surface, and get some other opinions then.

Not that the idea is bad or anything.

And depends what you mean by pre-clean. You would want to wash, then possibly use a TRIX type product, then clay, then #105/#205/wax... but that is just the general idea.
