Meguiar's 105/205 combo. Plus residue control tips and tricks

[@alexbryan9716]

Great tips Brian. Spreading the compound on the panel with applicator pad is a great idea. Not only does it reduce product sling it also doesn't gunk up the pad fibers as much as applying directly to the pad. Cheers!

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks Alex!! I do that when using the Rotary and it does everything you mentioned plus saves a little product as well. great post!! as usual!

[@AcdAutoDetail]

I am doing the same thing for years! (with a different product) love this method great video!

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks you! Some of the youngsters needed a tip on residue control. And keeping the pads clean for that matter.

[@DapimpBDSD]

This video makes me feel better about my polishing skill. I have always been worried that I'm doing it wrong because I end up with some dust from the M105 and that I have to add a bit of detail spray/soap water occasionally when using m105.

[@Angel_Ripoff]

Blowing off the pad in between passes is a great tip, I'll have to try to incorporate that into my polishing procedure. Thanks for another great video!

[@mikecimmarrusti8734]

Man this is very helpful. I thought it was me and that i was doing something wrong. Good to see this is an issue with this product.

[@tnfloose9023]

Hot summer day tried using 205. Even in the shade. Forget about it. Instant flash.

[@brentoncoad3155]

I tried this on the weekend with M105 and Express Spray Wax, worked amazing... less dusting and extended product cycle

[@apexdetail85]

Its the best way to get the most out of the product...and cleaner!! Cheers!

[@packisbetter90]

love your vids and your unique way of detailing

[@apexdetail85]

Iam just old 😂😂 But thanks for the kind words!👍🏻

[@jimrowe4177]

I was using Liquid Glass. It was expensive but the result was brilliant. They went out of business.

[@TheUltimate65]

I start with car polishing whitout no experiens , with M95, M66, have try M101 too and D300, D 301 too this its a microfiber system , very nice product when you are a new or profesjonal I can recomaded this products , have much experiens with both produkct , can been used of DA/Rotary machine witout no problem 😊

[@Clint_L]

Another great video. Nice flex 💪 at start of video. Showing hours on the machine ;) I’ve always used water to extend the compound. I’ll give the QED a try. Thank again Brian. Your videos are becoming increasingly invaluable. I won’t pretend to know it all, but each time I’ve gotten something new from your videos. Big fan.

[@apexdetail85]

Thanks....yeah....waaayyyy too much time on a machine!😂

[@chavezcustomdetailing9540]

Another great educational video. Keep them coming Brian.🤘

[@apexdetail85]

Your support for the channel is outstanding!! Thank you Mario!!

[@jershaus]

I use the fine cut cleaner for a lot of scratches. Cleans them up quick.

[@dtna]

Thank you sir for your tips. I really like the way you present your knowledge and explanations.

[@anthonymoy4471]

I've learned so much so quick from you . Do you have a video of polisher and going over pads and where to buy?

[@claymunsamy]

what speed should the rotary be when using 105 and 205 i got speed 1 to 6 on my machine

[@RishadKunjup]

600 to maximum 2000 rpm gives you good results... Low RPM is always better when you use rotary... It will reduce heat build up

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

For compounding I never go past 1800 rpm, 1600-1800 rpm is fine, i prefer a wool pad for compounding since it runs cooler at higher rpms than foam, polishing 1000-1200 rpm is fine with foam, finishing 600-1000 rpm is fine with foam.

[@claymunsamy]

@@STILLNIGHTPEARL thank you much appreciated for your advice

[@jennifertest5960]

can you use 105 Compound all Over the Car or you can use it just on Scratches??

[@mikefarina3733]

Great job on the video! I have a black outboard engine cowling cover. Mechanic put scratches on it removing and putting back on. What would you recommend to fix issue? Thank you, Mike

[@cpabrego]

Nice video, what exactly are you doing in the bucket? It's hard to tell what's going on there

[@apexdetail85]

I clean my pads of into the bucket...it catches residue and dust.😃

[@cpabrego]

Apex Detail yes I gathered that much, are you running it in the water or just rinsing it in water? Then blowing it off to dry it? Sorry for dumb questions just curious about that.

[@fayizcars2182]

The Same exact question!

[@baddriver3580]

Guess he rotary offs alot lol

[@juniord64]

Another great video!!! Gentle Touch Mobile Detail

[@apexdetail85]

Thank you Junior! Cheers! Hope they are keepn' ya busy there! 👍🏻

[@nicorallysport]

Brian please, could you do one versus M105 + M205 vs. M110 + M210? Then a combo M105 + M210 vs M110 + M205?, Would be cool!. If not, are you M105 and M205 really obsolete next to M110 and M210?

Second what he said. Can you explain what kind of foam pad to use with this product and on a da polisher.

[@thepolishitalian]

Me too!

[@SevansVII]

Your channel is very helpful; my goal is to start my own detailing business and your tutorials help me nail down a lot of concepts. How was the transition to shop oriented detailing? I'm starting mobile because there's very little overhead, but the idea of being able to work indoors is almost intoxicating, haha. Do you think it's a natural step to make? I know I certainly don't have enough customers to afford keeping a shop open at the moment.

[@apexdetail85]

First of all I wish the best in your quest to get your own business going. If you have questions about it, don't hesitate to reach out. My email is out there for everyone. [e-mail]. As for mobile vs a fixed detailing shop. I started mobile. Like you said, little overhead. But as you get older.. its nice to be out of the heat and sun and work in perfectly clean environments. But the overhead is tremendous. And you better be damn sure to have steady work year round. Hence... my multiple fleet contracts, dealer work, be active in your community, so local customers stay loyal. And train yourself in more than just basic detailing as to offer more and more services. Seems like Ism still training daily to keep up with the ever evolving industry. Hope that helps! 👍🏻

[@nickfloris4969]

Is the ultimate finer than the 205

[@n5yiz]

Excellent video....thanks

[@videomaniac108]

Thanks for the great tips. Would the M-205 be your choice as a jeweling polish for a black finish and a soft clearcoat? I'm looking at trying to get the highest clarity and depth of gloss.

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

205 works fine as a jeweling polish, but M210 is a little better on softer clear.

[@videomaniac108]

@@STILLNIGHTPEARL Thanks

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

@@videomaniac108 I would go with M210 on soft black clear coat, that’s literally what it was designed for. Some guys were complaining about M205 not finishing as good in that particular case, that’s why they came out with 210, on harder clear 205 is fine.

[@__________ran]

Hi Brain, My suzuki swift's paint condition is good enough, though 8 years old. I have purchased a M105 & M205 yet to use it. Though a regular detailing was done for the paint all these 8 years, but think that the paint have lost atleast some of the pop in these 8 years. I am in a bit of doubt of using M105 as I hear it is quite abrasive in nature. Please guide. I will use my rotary as you do.

[@apexdetail85]

Use the rotary on low speed with a fine polish....take your time and will see a glorious finish...CHEERS!!

[@adrianchindea3448]

Great tutorial.Cheers!

[@apexdetail85]

happy if it helps!!

[@castalbrt13ify]

I notice that sometimes you apply product to panel and sometimes to the pad. What determined when you do that and why? Thank you for the videos as a newbie I've learned so much more

[@apexdetail85]

I apply to a panel when using the rotary...which I use often. directly on to a pad when using the DA. Doing it that way reduces sling to almost nothing. Feel free to reach out any time you may have a question...I always make time for you guys.

[@castalbrt13ify]

Thank you

[@HerbOldenburg]

Do you turn on your waxer in the cleaning bucket

What is number 7 meguires creamy white texture? I remember light beige color years ago

[@tigere5517]

can you use these products on the front of my 5th wheel rv to remove heavy oxidation, i have these but have only tried them on my car

[@goodboyringo9716]

Where can one buy the angle wax QED ?

[@RB54DaBears]

Great video brother. Did you use the meguiars foam pads with the 105 on the van? Also how do u like the hasqvarna 2 gallon water pump? Thanks in advance. Love the videos

[@apexdetail85]

I use Buff and Shine Pads. The hand pump works fine...also purchased the I K foam 9 Foamerwww.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=apexdetail-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=e8ddf487b8d717c8066be7ede1d97274&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=automotive&keywords=I%20K%20Foam%209%20Foamer

[@martinmalioat9236]

Hello, I have Random Orbital Polisher, what kind of pads should I use for these 105 205 combo? Thanks

[@67blackdragon]

Hi Brain , when you say flash , what do you mean? Thanks

[@apexdetail85]

That means the second the product is drying on the surface

[@jordanwilcox4723]

What is the best speed for them both

[@issuma8223]

Why the switch from long-throw with the 105, to rotary with the 205?

[@SonofDarnell]

Brian can I use Meguiars ultra polishing wax on my front windshield to get off water spots?

[@roblow6202]

I know it’s been a year but you can use Meguiar’s scratch x....micro rag and a lot of wrists and elbow

[@fmkeylock1]

hello what polish did you use after the 205 was it angel wax perfect polish??

[@indianhearty]

Hello... i want to polish my 2015, Mitsubishi Lancer, This car never had any paint protection nor any paint maintenance. Due to poor technique of car wash by daily jobbers had made lot's of swirls and gloss is gone. i am very much fond of using meguiars products on my car... i am bit confused now what pair to get? meguiars Ultimate compound & polish or M105 & M205? What you would suggest best?

[@RuweSaare]

What song is playing around 8:00?

[@nicorallysport]

Will meguiar's M34 final inspection (where last touch D155 but contains silicones unlike M34) possibly be used as the QED? To prime a foam pad where to spray directly on the compound on the clear coat? (I know that M34 is rather expensive, but I like to use it! Especially for an inspection because without silicones)

[@ralphchavez9316]

Great video. What is a alternative to your qed angel wax? Will meguiars x-press wax work? Thank you.

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely 👍🏻

[@ralphchavez9316]

Apex Detail. Thanks Brian. Your videos are great, easy to understand and fun to watch. People like me that want to learn more , appreciate your effort to teach and give your knowledge to your fellow man. I see great things in your future. Stay humble,and dont change your style. No need to put exotic cars on your videos.

[@apexdetail85]

I only put cars I get permission for on the channel. Some customers are touchy with the high end cars. So the everyday drivers will do. Especially when they are 85% of cars needing a good detail👍🏻

[@p.fellow3172]

Great Video. M105 is a miracle compound, but like you mentioned the RESIDUE CONTROL can cause migraines...

[@apexdetail85]

I dont like to pick on companies... but there are much , much worse compounds to manage. Meguiar's is manageable and the results are worth it.

[@p.fellow3172]

I have seen and used "some of those worst compound". My work has considerably gotten better after I started using M105 with the "KB METHOD"

[@apexdetail85]

Keep experimenting Papa... try the Angelwax compounds at some point. 👍🏻 And Wolfgang!

[@p.fellow3172]

Apex Detail Will do. Thanks

[@lt7656]

Do you consider meguiars "cheaper brands" like you mentioned ? I thought it was a better than most product.

[@apexdetail85]

Its a solid brand and I use them frequently on my regulars. I would consider them in the top half for sure. Its just that 105 dries too quickly and produces more residue than... say... angelwax or QP ON compounds.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

Apex Detail 101 compound pairs better with the 205 , that 105 dusts too much

[@patriciobarona164]

What is the price

[@roryforbes1554]

Would you not recommend using the QED spray if a ceramic coating is to be applied after the polishing process? If not, what lubricant would you use instead of QED?

[@apexdetail85]

You can still use the QED...just use a panel prep or IP solution to get that clear coat naked.

[@richardkkirk]

cheers Brian I suppose i'm a bit of a megs fan boy, i use lots of their detailer range...although as much as i love the apc because it lasts ages and cost is very low when using in enclosed areas i have to use a good 3m respirator because it gets on my chest really bad, back on subject..lol.....would their quick detailer be ok or do u think i would have to cut it slightly more...i generally dilute it 50/50...cheers ...keep em coming mate regards rich.

[@apexdetail85]

Absolutely... their quick detailer is fantastic!!

[@apexdetail85]

50/50 is fine

[@ralphd1448]

Brian great video if I ever move to Texas can u be my car detailing mentor?

[@apexdetail85]

That would be rough... Iam in Pennsylvania. Not into long distance relationships! Lol

[@apexdetail85]

In a serious note. Anyone can email me questions or concerns I will respond promptly. Cheers!

[@Isgood2beKing]

Please I have see the video too late I have tons of residue of compound ultimate meguiars , HOW I CAN CLEAN IS GREASE ALL OVER GLASSES AND THE PAINT that was done already HELP HELP or anyone who can give me an advise

[@Shrinekeeper1]

I'm having a hard time getting the 205 off after applying. Like almost impossible. What am I doing wrong?

[@apexdetail85]

Either over working the compound....or its a soft clear coat. Either way...have a body solvent nearby to remove.

[@edsonrocha6268]

Did Not Follow The Polisher & Pad Into The Bucket Thing !
