Basically, these abrasives don&#8217;t breakdown like diminishing abrasives do. These SMAT abrasives stay consistent over a typical buffing cycle. This allows the user to have some control over the length of a polishing cycle without compromising finishing ability.<\/p>\n<p>Since M110 and M210 were released, I have been testing them in the shop on a few different paint types. Listed below are some of my initial thoughts. I&#8217;ll be sure to update you with some additional findings as my testing continues.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Ultra-Pro-Speed-Compound-M110-P1793\/32-oz-S1\/\">M110<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Ultra-Pro-Finishing-Polish-M210-P1792\/32-oz-S1\/\">M210<\/a> Test:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed Variables<\/li>\n<li>Polisher: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Rupes-M62\/Big-Foot-Random-Orbital-Polisher-P759\/LHR-21ES-21MM-S1\/\">Rupes Mark 2 (21MM)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Rupes-M62\/LHR-21ES-Backing-Plate-P777\/5-S2\/\">Backing Plate: Rupes 5 inch<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pads: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/DA-Microfiber-Cutting-Disc-Buffing-Pad-P515\/55-S1\/\">Meguiar&#8217;s Microfiber Cutting Pad 5.5 inch<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Lake-Country-M7\/HD-Orbital-Orange-Polishing-Pad-P953\/6-S1\/\">Lake Country Orange HDO Polishing Pad 5.5 inch<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Paints: Porsche Basalt Black Metallic\u00a0\/ Tesla Red Multi-Coat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Ultra-Pro-Speed-Compound-M110-P1793\/32-oz-S1\/\">Meguiar&#8217;s Ultra Pro Speed Compound M110<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excellent as a 1 step polishing compound with HDO pad<\/li>\n<li>Very low dusting<\/li>\n<li>On softer paints had more than enough cut to remove sanding marks, swirls and light scratches<\/li>\n<li>Leaves a really nice finish with manageable micro marring<\/li>\n<li>Much easier wipe off when comparing to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Pro-Speed-Compound-M100-P732\/32-oz-S1\/\">Meguiar&#8217;s M100 Pro Speed Compound<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Long working cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Not quite as much cut as I would have liked ( M100 seemed to have a little bit more cut under the same fixed variables)<\/li>\n<li>Has limitations on hard paints with severe defects<\/li>\n<li>Price point-\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Pro-Speed-Compound-M100-P732\/32-oz-S1\/\">M100<\/a> is still the best value for money<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/Ultra-Pro-Finishing-Polish-M210-P1792\/32-oz-S1\/\">Meguiar&#8217;s Ultra Pro Finishing Polish M210<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Left a high gloss finish on both paints with minimum to no micro marring<\/li>\n<li>Very low dusting<\/li>\n<li>Long working cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Had cutting ability limitations while using it as a 1 step polish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We had the privilege of interviewing Markus Kleis from Meguiars at SEMA 2018.
