^ Let's see what M100 can do to that Beauty above. ^

I have not even removed the safety seal off my bottle yet but after using M101 with about every tool and pad under the sun I already accept that M100 is going to work fine. The chemist at Meguiar's always have their ducks in a row before launching a new product.

Besides that, we're finishing out with Trizact #5000 sanding discs and I've already experimented with these discs and just about any quality "polish" with a cutting or polishing pad and good technique will remove the sanding marks. Top coat hardness is always an unknown factor but after a little testing on the Viper Red paint on the Mustang and we'll have a feel for hardness and/or softness. Regardless, I'm taking M100 with a wool pad the the sanding marks because I like to remove sanding marks quickly, not take all day.

Live broadcast?!

Starts at 6:00pm Florida time, that would be 3:00pm SoCal time. Plus the live feed is recorded and uploaded to our YouTube Channel. We've done 3 Meguiar's Live Broadcasts that I can remember, I should do a better job of sharing them on MOL. We did a 1970 Mach 1 with single stage paint by hand using the Ultimate Line. We did a 2006 Mustang using the Pro Line and we did a 1999 Trans Am with M101.

Looking forward to the video feed, Mike.

If you're using 3M 5000 grit for finish sanding, have you played with just using the DAMF system, or even microfiber pads and M105/M101/etc on a DA to remove them? We have excellent results pulling out 3000 grit marks this way, and pretty quickly too as long as the paint isn't crazy hard. No holograms to deal with so a secondary polish is also quick and easy, and there's virtually zero clean up. 5000 grit sanding marks should be dispatched very easily this way.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Thanks for the tips Mike...

I really want to test out the M100 with a wool pad on a rotary buffer and our time for these live broadcast is very compressed so I'm looking for speed of defect removal.

Plus I want to play with it a little. I was impressed with M101 on the Trans Am...

Hi, May I ask why you'd recommend M101 over M100?

Let's say one were to use a DA with Microfiber pads and did two test spots side by side... one with M101 and one with M100, in general what can the expected difference be? I know all paints are different, but speaking generally. Which one would cut faster? Finish better?

Thanks

No problem, Mike. Actually, it's nice to see that you're going to use M100 the way it was designed to be used - a wool pad and rotary buffer. For everyone else, remember that we formulated M100 to be a "mid tier" compound for body shop use. Now, it may be "mid tier" from a pricing stand point, but we're pretty confident that it's way beyond "mid tier" in terms of cut and finish. Mike will certainly show how close we came to that target!

This gets a bit tricky since M101 and M100 have vastly different design parameters. M101 was developed specifically for European aftermarket paint being buffed with a typical Euro body shop work flow - rotary buffer, foam cutting pad, spot repair. M100 was developed specifically for more traditional US body shop work flow - wool pad, rotary buffer, full panel buffing - and to address those "mid tier" users.

Once you step outside those two specific target windows, things become a bit trickier to predict. While we would expect M101 to offer more cut overall if you're using both (or all three, if you want to throw M105 into the mix) on a microfiber pad and DA buffer, we're already seeing cases where M100 on a microfiber pad and a very powerful DA tool is doing some amazing correction. Garry Dean has already shown it's power with a 21mm throw Rupes Bigfoot, but that's not a tool that very many people have yet. If you're spinning M101 vs M100 on a microfiber pad and a G110v2, it might be a toss up depending on the paint. But again, these weren't targeted to be used that way. That doesn't mean they can't be used that way, obviously, just that if you step that far outside their design specifics then your mileage may (and will) vary.

Used as recommended on the label and hands-down one of the best compounds on the market. It was child's play to remove our sanding marks the compound has a smooth, buttery feel to it while buffing. Zero dusting, wipe-off can't get any easier and it left an incredibly low swirl finish that cleaned up show car quality effortlessly.


I normally try my best to take lots of before, process and after pictures but when playing the role of team leader for projects like this where some guys have never sanded or used a machine to buff it's hard to also manage the camera. The live video recording is right at 4 hours in two parts. The link is on the bottom of the AGO forum homepage if anyone wants to check it out. Here's a few pictures though...


Here's Robert aka Impressions using a DeWALT 849X Rotary Buffer with a Lake Country Wool Pad and Meguiar's M100 Pro Speed Compound.

Very nice compound. If you work with a rotary buffer and wool pads I highly recommend this compound.

Re: M100 Pro Speed Compound

Hi Mike,
On the picture where mike ******* has the product on the mustang's paint finish the product looks very similar in color and consistency to 66 quick detailer. Is the product similar to 66 in the way it buffs? I understand it is a compound, but I was curious how it compared to a product I use and am familiar with. Thank you!
