Default Finally got the hang of M105!!

Well after a few failed attempts of using 105 I decided to give it another go on a Dakota. And using some tips from a few other forum members this time is was great to work with!!

Basically I used an orange lo-pro pad and misted with QD and added a pea size drop of Opt. polish to the pad... then did 2-3 thick lines of 105 on the panel I was working and picking it up on speed one and working the dial to 6. this gave 105 a little bit longer working time and not as much marring that I got before. And buffing the stuff off was a snap!!!

And to finish it off i used Ultrafina SE on a black Lc pad.

GJ. "Dial on 6", sounds like you are using a Flex or PC?

RTFO. I'm teeter tottering with the idea of a Flex. The lack of a BP for 4" pads and the unavailable Edge adapters make me cry.
