Luv_hurts Neutral Newbie October 22, 2009 Share October 22, 2009 Hi all, Was wondering what cutting compound are you guys using. Possible to share location to get them and pricing as well as how abrasive is it. I was looking at Ultimate compound and Maguiars professional line up. I have some fine scratches that only upon close inspection can u see. Swirl X dont seem to do the trick. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson91 Neutral Newbie October 22, 2009 Share October 22, 2009 meg m105 = meg ultimate compound meg 205 the more aggressive but difficult to work with is the pro line, in my experience., meg ultimate compound should produce similar result but is more user friendly, i suppose. Have not had thechance to use it yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddriver 4th Gear October 22, 2009 Share October 22, 2009 Bro Luv..I am not sure has meg has launch the new M105 for DA or not..You might want to check with hypercoat.. I am using M105 myself..switch SIP to M105..less dusty and better cutting on my rotary..then follow by a merzerna 106FF..i find it has slight better cutting than M205 but i must agreed M205 is very easy to use..M205 on different pads give you different result..can be used for polishing and finishing.. but what pads are u using for swirl X?? The ultimate compound target consumer market but the cutting are not as good..you need a few more passes for a DA.. Is yours the 3 series?? if yes..this model has a softer clear-coat if I am not wrong...Man..I can see your are officially poisoned... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using DA and only looking for small correction. Think the consumer line UC should be good. I am using the yellow polishing pad with swirl X Thinking of getting the Cutting pad with UC for correction works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newage Neutral Newbie October 22, 2009 Share October 22, 2009 since swirl x don't work for u, give UC a try 1st before u step up to M105... take note on M105 that product tends to flash out very quickly so u have to keep buffing until it's break down and UC is more user friendly...

Go for a few passes, once it work in you would be able to know it. But do take note of your hand pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwirlX is less agressive that UC. But IMHO, UC is much easier to work with as SwirlX dries up too fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
