Hey guys, I’ve been following the Ask a Pro Blog and it has been full of great information. Keep up the good work! I have a PC and recently got some M105\/205 and various pads from Detailed Image. I tried it out on an Acura with great results! It is an impressive combination. I used the 105 with the LC Orange pad, and the M205 with the LC Black pad. After the 105\/205 I apply Zaino Z2 as the final step. My question is – do you recommend any polishing after the M205? Or is the M205 good enough to finish with before I apply the Zaino? I own Honda and Acura vehicles, so that that is my primary focus. Thanks! Bill<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hi Bill, and thanks for the questions. I’m glad to hear that you’ve found the information here on the Detailed Image Ask A Pro <\/a>blog to be\u00a0helpful.<\/p>\n

I too agree that the Meguiars M105 \/ M205 <\/a>combination is very powerful, and versatile as well. I spend a lot of time using it myself.<\/p>\n

Acura \/ Honda paint is typically pretty soft and relatively easy to work with as far as correction is concerned. I typically only use M105<\/a> for Acura \/ Honda paint when the condition is pretty severe. M205<\/a> on a PC<\/a> with a black pad <\/a>will do a very good job of finish polishing, especially with the cleanup of any marring caused by a heavier combination like M105 \/ orange<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As far as your question about needing to go another refining step in finish polishing, I guess it comes down to what color the car is, and how good you want it to look. If the soft paint is lighter in color, you could go with a finer polish but the difference wouldn’t be very noticeable in most cases. If you were working with a darker color like Nighthawk Black Pearl however, it would definitely be worth your while to spend some time with a finer polish. For this I would recommend a blue pad <\/a>and Menzerna PO85RD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If these are your own personal cars you’re working on, it would definitely recommend having the finer polish\/pad combination on hand for those quick touch-ups or the occasional light polishing.<\/p>\n

Let me know if you have any additional questions or comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
