Re: M101 Foam Cut Compound

Ha ha... I remember your review of M101 several months ago calling it the "Jesus" of compounds.

Let the experimentation begin! I'm waiting for the "M101 via DAMF" review lol...

So when will my local Walmart have it?

Garry Dean asks and he receives, lol.

Awesome!

LOL!! Garry, you'd be surprised at the pushback Jason and I got when we insisted that the label remain identical. "But that's a European label" we were told, "we can't use that domestically". We said "look, we know these guys, and if you change a single thing on that label they will immediately start thinking we somehow altered what's inside the bottle, too, and that just won't fly". Our conversation with you and others at Detail Fest convinced us of this. The powers that be caved, but we had to add an additional sticker with a little domestic regulatory blurb for sale here in the US.

So when will my local Walmart have it?

Hmmmmm...... do you think a compound that calls out rotary use only with a foam pad (forget for a moment what you already know about this product) that is priced at $58/qt will work there????

I think Scottwax had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek when he said that.

Re: M101 Foam Cut Compound

When and where is it going to be available domestically?
Can we expect to see it in the local auto-parts stores?

Oh, we know he did..... and our response was a bit of the same. Maybe we should have used the same emoticon?

Availability could be as soon as the next couple of weeks as this is a currently produced product. It's just a question of delivery through the proper channels. But don't expect to see it at your local auto parts store; it's going to be either an online purchase or through a PBE store like the majority of the Mirror Glaze line.

Re: M101 Foam Cut Compound

Michael, or anyone else that can answer this, What will be the normal process for this? M101 followed by... M205 or something else?

Generally, yes. In most cases you'll need to follow M101 with a less aggressive polish, whether that be M205 or anything else you like as a finishing polish.

So now all we really need to add to the line up is M201, and then their consumer equivilents, let's call them 'Ultimate Compound-Cousin', and 'Ultimate Polish-Cousin' so we know they are related, but not the same. Don't forget 'Ultimate Wax-Cousin'..... Just kidding Mike.

There really seems to be a whole lot of choice of product from Meguiars. Great for those that like to experiment, but I still loves me good ol' M105/M205 combo!

Re: M101 Foam Cut Compound

I've found that following up M101 with D300 on a polishing disk is usually LSP ready. Of course the varialbes matter and come into play but that's a pretty killer defect combo.

Follow that combo with M205 and the finish is even better. Although M105 works great it dries quickly and splatters. I can deal with a little M101 dusting but the M105 flashing and splatte4r drives me nuts. I'm looking forward to M101.

Drop a little D300 on the same pad as M105 and watch your working time increase and dust decrease.

Re: M101 Foam Cut Compound

MY favorite online Retailer isn't selling it yet.
I could have used some this weekend. I am also running low on M105.
Shoot I'd be willing to drive down to Irvine to get some.

Be patient..... it won't be long now. As for driving to Irvine, remember that we don't have a full "factory store" here so you can't buy it at our offices here.

The push comes from being pretty excited to give this stuff a try. Nothing likes to cut through my paint, and maybe just maybe M101 will be my answer. Plus I am really amped on the idea of using with D300 to reduce dusting.

About Irvine, I figured if I sat out front long enough with a "GOT M101?" written on cardboard someone would throw me a bone/bottle.
