I'm working on a black '95 Audi, and I've never buffed a car that was anywhere near how hard this clear coat is! The car has severe swirls, RIDS and water spot etching.
It's taking 3-4 laps with the the light cutting wool pad and M105 to get close to a swirl-free finish ready for polishing with M205. It's not touching the etching. I actually wet sanded with 2000 grit in a few spots and it got close to perfect but still left the etching.
I'm also running into problems with M105 drying almost instantly when I run the buffer over it. It then becomes impossible to remove. This has never happened to me in the 10 or so cars I've used it on. I spur the pads before ever application of product, and only go a couple panels before I hand wash it and go to my other pad.
I'm going to try less product on a fresh pad and see where that gets me. Maybe I'm pressing too hard in the effort to get more cut and it's causing it to dry faster?
