Re: Review of M205

That's a pretty good test and review... thanks for posting the link.

Dark or black paint is the best color to test any product on, but the swirls in that hood and the results they achieved plus the hands-on, detailed review is very good.

Plus if I read it correctly, all work was done using only a rotary?
(can someone verify?)

Two Thumbs Up!




The Tag Team of M105 and M205 will be the new benchmark for all others to try to beat.

Re: Review of M205

It was all rotary, and yes it was a good review. I'm amazed it took swirls like that out. That's just awesome.

Re: Review of M205

It was all rotary,

All the more powerful of the reveiw...

It's hard to understand and also hard to explain how the M105 and the new M205 can produce such awesome results using only a rotary buffer but on some paint systems they truly do just that.

The word is amazing.

Looking forward to more reviews and write-ups as more people get their hands on M205 and in the very near future the newly reformulated M105

Re: Review of M205

Most informative thread indeed, love the KR - nice pic!

I don't post a whole lot, but I've spent countless hours entranced by the images I've seen, and learned quite a bit too I think. I've Holden_Caulfield to thank for that! (he posted in another forum I'm active in with a link here).

I've been using M80 and M83, as well as M95 on my Station Wagon, but between the abysmal orange-peel that Dodge calls paint, and the tens of thousands of acid-rain divots on the horizontal surfaces, I wasn't having a real fun time. I've dabbled with wetsanding on that one, with decent results.

I ordered some M105 and M205 after reading a few tidbits here and there, and decided to give my neighbor Tyler a Christmas present, gain some experience and maybe even create some word-of-mouth referrals.

So I detailed his Bright Red 2005 (10/04 build) Chevy Colorado pickup truck. He's a first year college student, nice young man he and his Mom are better than a few neighbors I've had in my life. His truck has seen him through high school, and now commutes to College most days a week. It lives outdoors, has since new, and rarely if ever, gets a bath and probably hasn't ever been waxed. It's a 4x4 (with an Inline 5 cylinder 3.5L motor too!) and looks to have gone offroad once or twice, whether intentionally or not, it's hard to say. (He is a college age boy after all.)

I won't hijack this thread will a ton of pictures (here's the link), but to summarize in a few short words, These two products together, or separately are just awesome! The Chevy had some very noticeable swirls and holograms pretty much all over it, and there are a dozen of more major divots.

More than once I startled the dog when I yelled out loud with amazement at the results I was getting.

Not really a fair comparison to the OP's original post, as I've not used anything but Zaino and Meg's with any sort of seriousness, just a very enthusiastic Thumbs Up for M205!
