Meguiars Speed Compound is the right choice for any Pro or Weekend Warrior Detailer looking for an impressive solution for all of your compounding needs.

So it's not designed for a DA or MF pads? Confused?? 101 would be more applicable for a DA and MF/Foam pads?

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

No, it is NOT designed for use with a DA and microfiber pads. That information posted elsewhere is incorrect and in the process of being changed at our request. That said, we know that people are going to experiment with it on a DA with all kinds of pads, just as they did with M105 and M101. Fine by us, really.

But even M101 wasn't designed for use with a DA and MF pads - it was specifically designed for the European aftermarket paint industry where foam pads on rotary buffers are the norm (they almost never use wool pads) and the aftermarket paint is very different than it is here in the US. We created M101 to meet the demands, requirements and workflow of that very specific market segment. But some guys here in the US started re-porting it (re importing, as it were) back to the US and using it with their microfiber pads. They may be getting a lot of dust, but they're also getting really fast cut and a very nice finish, so to them it's more than worth it. And we got enough feedback and demand for it here in the US that we just released it for domestic sale.

But back to the subject at hand - M100. Again, a specific target market with this product: the mid-tier body shop user who is looking for a cost effective but highly efficient way to quickly remove sanding marks with a wool pad and rotary buffer. In that segment there is a very popular product that we directly targeted with M100. It's from a company that is popular in the body shop world but almost never discussed in detailing circles, and not even sold through your typical online detailing supply shops like ADS, AG, etc. M100 will remove sanding marks faster than this competitor, and leave a nicer finish in the process. Win-win.

So does that mean you can NOT use this with a DA and microfiber of foam pads? No, it doesn't mean that. We're always open to experimentation. In some cases it will probably do an outstanding job when used that way, and for some people it may even be seen as "the next big thing". We didn't expect that with M101, but there it is. Just keep in mind that if you try it in a way other than it was designed to be used and it fails to meet your expectations, at least you'll understand why.

Thanx for the clarification Mike

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

It makes perfect sense to give body shops economical, fast and effective way of deep defect removal.

Now they all can choose between M86, M100, M101 or M105, and so can we. Everybody should be happy.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Hi Mike,
So it's not SMAT then ? and the finish might not be as good as M105 ? Thanks...
Very Interesting product to try.. Thanks Meguiars

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

For the price, I know I'm getting it! Mike, was this the mystery item when the 2013 products were unveiled? We're all happy soon meant now and not next year!

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

So basically M100 sounds like an updated/more aggressive M95?

I suspect this was formulated to target Wizard's Mystic Cut, but I won't ask for or expect confirmation of that.... just thinking out loud.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Someone send me some so I can test this stuff out.

**Soarer5** · Dec 5, 2012, 12:40 PM

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

I never actually heard of Wizard's products until moving to MN a few months back. I'm pretty sure M100 is directly targeted at another "M" product lol.

After reading a little about it, I tend to agree that it's an updated M95 and probably targets 3M tier compounds and the like.

It is indeed SMAT, and it's also solvent based, which makes it more closely related to M101 than to anything else in our current lineup.

Yes, this was the product we teased back at SEMA.

You've nailed with the M95 reference! As for the product target, not quite.

Nope, not another "M" product as the specific target, but even though we aren't naming names suffice it to say that it's a very popular mid-tier body shop compound that, in head to head testing, M100 outguns pretty easily for the same money.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Can't wait to try this out.

**aerogt01** · Dec 5, 2012, 05:54 PM

Outstanding, especially for the price!

I would guess the competition is Presta, but in the end I don't really care.

**PhantomMagician** · Dec 6, 2012, 12:10 PM

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Wow, Great..
But if it SMAT too, what makes it cheaper then M105, is there any ability in M105 that M100 don't ?

First thought is it like UC and Rubbing Compound, because RC is DAT so Meguiars sell it cheaper, but in this case both are SMAT. Wanna try this product
