anyone here use M105 with a rotary? is this even possible? if so, it would beg reat to hear tips about working time, amount of product, and rpm. thanks!
It is, a lot of people have been using the Kevin Brown Method with a rotary. Try searching for those terms and see if anything pops up.
When working on a vehicle that needs serious help, M105 feels like cheating. I'm completely in love with the stuff. EDIT: I've tried it with wool/rotary, and orange foam/PC (using the KBM). I ended up with some of the old version, and plan to go get more.
Regular methods with wool pad at 1500-1700 and meg maroon cutting pad at 1300-1500 speed works for me.. Has anyone try it with a softer pad like lcc white or meg polish pad before? i wonder how it works..
I don't like using a RO polisher for compounding...I really don't believe they're durable enough. I have used 105 with my Dynabrade on a couple of black cars that were tough.. Here the first one Here's the 2nd
I'm now inclined to agree with this. Doing some more cleanup on the F250, I got the PC out again to go over some areas that needed more work. Found them in "just the right lighting," one of those. Anyway, while doing the KBPCM again, my Porter Cable started to fail. It started to spit out some sort of grease - silvery gray looking stuff - out of *somewhere* inside of it. Made a huge mess. I'd say that PC had, maybe, ten hours of use on it. It goes to the repair/warranty place on Capital Blvd. today. I'm not holding out much hope - I bought it on Amazon, and don't have the receipt anymore.
I have no idea why, but a lot of people complained that they couldn't get the hang of the original, so Megs changed it. HUGE mistake IMO. People complained that it flashed too quickly. I think a lot of them were trying to spread the polish before they started working it, like a conventional polish. It was said over and over, hit the ground running and work it. Zip, zip, done! The original is perfect the way that it is. I never understood why people would want to work longer to achieve the same results. If I can achieve correction in seconds, why would I want to use something that would take minutes to achieve the same results? The original 105 is used differently than a "conventional" compound, but the instructions on how to use it correctly were everywhere. To each their own, but I stocked up on the original.
I've had my PC from Lowe's stop working, the bearings were crystallizing and from what one of the Raleigh service centers told me it's a common issue. Believe it was only a $30-40 fix. My PC's however have too many hours to consider. Hope all works out.
You know exactly why it was changed, it was for the people that can't figure out how to use the first version. Since they can't get it in their heads that it has a short working time and don't know how to change their style of polishing to make it work.
