M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Kevin, have you had an opportunity to compare M205 with SwirlX? If SwirlX is part of my arsenal (which of course it is not yet), would I have any need to also have a bottle of M205? Even if it does not help me make more money, make new friends, and establish world peace, just the promise of becoming a great polisher overnight sure sounds promising.

Maybe one of the Mikes can chime in here (Pennington Phillips, Stoops).

From what I know, SwirlX is a different animal.
I haven't tried it yet, so I cannot definitively tell you from first hand experience.
If I recall correctly, SwirlX leaves a protective coating (that's just what I heard in the Meguiar's booth at SEMA from a reliable source).

If you do paint polishing as a hobby or only occasionally, I'd get the Consumer trio first. Then, if you feel you need a bit more ooomph!- Pick up a bottle of M205, as it is a very task-specific product.

I'm not sure about this...
I didn't see the back of the bottle so I cannot be certain this was the stuff!

Ok Kevin. I'm sold!
Pretty much all a man needs is some 105, 205, and the LSP of choice. Some will be able to get the new 105 to finish out and some will only need 205 depending on the condition of the paint. I like how Meg's is making their simple system even more simple!

What should mobile detailers expect in outside conditions? I know Meg's say a cool dry surface but hey, not all of us can do that.

Confirmed.. NOT the stuff I was thinking of. SORRY!

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Chemical wise, it's nothing like M80.

Like M80 it is a product for removing defects by removing paint.

is it M205 cure the defect without removing defect?

No. M205 is a polish made to remove defects.

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

I had a great experience with M205 this weekend while working on my wife's 07 Nissan Quest. I masked off a piece of a real problem section and got to work.

- Clayed with Smooth Surface Clay.
- M205 via G100 / W8006

The picture below says it all. This was downright easy. I spent about 60 seconds buffing the top section and this is what I was rewarded with:



Great, now I have to do the rest of the van. 8-)

This statement pretty much sums up what it's like using M205

Easy to buff, easy to wipe off, excellent results.

How in the world did Brian get his hands on M205?! What's his secret? I want in!

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

He works at Meguiar's!

LOL


We usually have all Meguiar's employees have their job title under their name, we'll make that change today.

LOL

That'll do it!

I checked his title for that exact reason, too, hah.

[Mike Phillips]

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

All fixed.

Partly my fault as I wasn't sure of his exact title...

Re: M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

Was over at Darin <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><st1:City><st1:place>Pereira</st1:place></st1:City>’s, helping get his Tahoe ready for SEMA one night. He pulled out a couple of bottles of product, no labels just some numbers. Used it on the truck, was very easy to use and the results were outstanding, like nothing I’ve ever used before. After we were all done he told me that it was the new M205. This stuff is just amazing, can’t wait to get some.

Hey Hippie... I think you were in my Meguiar's Advanced Class. Good to see you on here (if you are who I think you are...).

I remember mention of your family being in the automotive body shop/painting business?

Hey Brian,

Yep...that is how it goes. Never do a test spot unless you want do the whole vehicle!

My detail I had planned this weekend to test the new M205 fell through. I ended up doing a few test spots with it instead (yep....I did it too! ).

The new M205 is an awesome product!! This weekend, hopefully I can do the full detail with the M205! As Mike said, easy to use and what I really liked was the lack of gumming! Awesome stuff!!!!
