Title says it all... what's the difference? Is it the working times?

If I remember correctly working times and M105 will finish down a little better.

Technically the 95 has a longer working time where the 105 finishes finer. The M95 supposedly (AFAIK) doesn't have diminishing abrasives in it, where as the M105 does. I could have that reversed for all I remember but I know Superbee if he ever chimes in has extensive hands on with both of these.

I'm still awaiting to use my M95 sample I got... so I can't comment on it's actual function.

I have never used 95 but it is M105 that does NOT have diminishing abrasives

M105 works fine with foam, theres just a bit of a learning curve.

it does but nowhere near as well. Remeber when using wool it also levels the paint better therefore the end results will be better than using foam to start out with. Sorry about that Dust, should have been a little more indepth but the above post are pretty much dead on.
