    M09 Swirl Remover 2.0 vs M205 Finishing Polish

    Hello again,
    I posted my question to the wrong section first go-around.

    Assuming all things equal (vehicle, machine & pad type etc), Which of these two products would be the more the aggressive one for removing light to moderate swirls in clear coat paint? Or in other words, on the aggressiveness scale, which is more aggressive?

    Thanks!

      A second vote for 205, but to answer your question, they both rate similarly for aggressiveness. The SMAT abrasives in 205 will enable a little more cut though since they can be worked longer. It's been years since I've used M09, though so I'm going off recollection.

        M205 uses the latest technology in abrasives while M09 is a bit more "old school" in the way it does things. What this means is that, although both are quite similar in overall level of cut, M205 will cut faster and usually leave a better finish both in terms of total gloss and clarity. M205 is even proving itself to be quite capable of removing pretty severe defects when used in a very aggressive manner. While that is outside the design parameters of the product, it does go to show the versatility of this new breed of abrasives.

        On a modern clear coat finish, if you're chasing the best gloss and clarity you can get, do yourself a favor and use M205 with a foam finishing pad after completing your full correction. Make sure to keep the pad very clean (ie, clean it often) and don't buff for long periods of time - M205 does its thing pretty quickly and there is no need to "break down the abrasives". On some paints you may find that M205 on a foam polishing pad gives all the correction you need for minor defects, while leaving a beautiful finish at the same time.
