    M105 vs Water Spots
    So most of the homework I've done on 105 seems to be about swirls, scratches, and the like. I've got some PITA water spots on my white truck that refuse to budge. I've used step 1 cleaner (from the consumer line) and some other cleaners and polishes of varying brands with no luck. My paint is actually gorgeous now...literally swirl free under the sun...minus these spots.

    So now I've been thinking of trying the 105/205 combo, bt shy'd away thus far because it's listed as such an agressive product. Butthen everything I seem to read about it would lead you to think otherwise.

    I'd be using with a DA and Lake Country pads of various colors. Is this the product to go with to tackle tough water spots? Something else you guys recommend inbetween?

    What do you think?? Guess do a test spot to start?? What's the word with this against spots on paint that needs no other type repair?

    Thanks guys.

    Try Vinegar or a waterspot remover before you get all crazy.
     
  3. 105 is not near as aggresive as it is played out to be. It does work wonderfull on removing waterspots though :popcorn:

    I agree..it is pad dependent like a lot of compounds are...use it with white wool and it really digs..use it with an orange flat LCC pad and it'll do a nice cleaning and finish down pretty darn nice if you use it correctly. Follow that with 205 and a milder pad and Bob's your Uncle.

    what kind of wool pads are there? white? purple?
    do they work differently?
     
  6. Just like with foam, there is different levels of aggression. The twisted wool is made for correction while the electrified is made for finishing :buffer:
