Meguiar's M100 Reivew | Better than M105

[@jamesdawson3094]

Thank you for this video! I was astounded today by how much dust came off using m105. I kept cleaning the pad, literally after every single pass, to stop it dusting. Dusting is disgusting, lol. Thanks again!

[@PaLoHQ]

I'm glad I see you distance yourself from chemical guys.

[@MikeEM1]

PaLo did that a couple years ago

[@PaLoHQ]

MikeEM1 I guess I haven't seen your videos in a couple years. I'm glad I started again.

[@MikeEM1]

PaLo welcome back. I only like 3-5 things from them now. My arsenal is much different now.

[@rodrigob.6860]

Great review and i like how you have your amazon store set up with comments and the products you recommend. Good stuff on there.

[@MikeEM1]

Rodrigo Botello thank you!

[@semiephemeral9]

Good Stuff Mike, thanks! That's a great price for M100. Believe or not Ultimate Compound is pretty handy too. It's somewhere between 105 and 205 if you don't need something as aggressive. And the wipe off is WAY better than 105.

[@danlc95]

UC is very good! Just south of M105 for cut.

[@Klarkash-Ton]

I totally agree with this video. M100 is better than 105 in every way. It cuts better, you can work it longer, it makes less dust, and it finishes better. I only keep my leftover 105 around in case I run out of 100.

[@markjching]

nice. I use 100, 105 and 205. I find myself using 100 most frequently. I used to use menzerna, but that stuff leaves too much dust behind.

[@MikeEM1]

It's a great compound, especially for the price.

[@markjching]

I bought the gallon sizes of all three compounds and finishes.

[@rickmarsh8199]

Love me some pro speed!

[@MikeEM1]

It's a great product

[@MrBod4life]

​@@MikeEM1 Has anyone else used m100 with foam pads? is it safe for most paints using that method I wonder?

[@dominionfactor6860]

How many section passes do you do?..gonna try the M100 cool video.

[@waltergray9182]

What finishing polish do you like.

[@clevo351]

Great Vid Mike! What size pads are you using Mike?

[@MikeEM1]

5"

[@clevo351]

Is there a special reason why you use 5 inch and not any larger ?

[@MikeEM1]

Don't need a pad larger than 5. I don't work on trucks or suv's and most modern cars have so much curves, especially sporty cars. 5" makes most sense for me.

[@vincealince_SRT]

Hey bud great video, I got a couple questions how would you attack those curves on top of front fenders? Smaller pad? And also is it a MUST, to tape off plastics and headlights while compounding? I just started this detail venture any info is greatly appreciated, I’m gonna have to check this product out.

[@MikeEM1]

vincealinceable yes I would used a 3" pad. I'd prefer to tape off but I don't always do. It's smart to tape off plastics because polish or wax can be a pain to remove from plastics.

[@danlc95]

Compounds contain a lot of solids in the form of abrasives. Because of this, they tend to dust. I'm ok with this because otherwise they would clog up the pads with gummy residue.

[@MikeEM1]

Good point

[@st4nee]

what do you think about m100 with DFC6 on DA?

[@2010stoof]

I'd love to see your thoughts on m110 and m210. Picked them up on pre-order but haven't had a chance to give them a run yet and love hearing your guys' thoughts here know KZbin.

[@MikeEM1]

I'd love to test them. Only issue is me having test panels to test them on. That's why I haven't tested 3D One yet. I've had it for a minute.

[@beastmb6505]

In one black car can i use only meguiars 100 polish ? Or need other step with other softh polish??

[@MikeEM1]

It does finish decent, but might need a follow up with a polish for a cleaner look

[@BSF628]

Hey MikeEM1, are you using a polish compound after using M100? It definitely doesn't dust as bad as M105, I used baby oil to help with the dusting it works decently.

[@MikeEM1]

Sonax Perfect Finish is my go to for a second step most of time. I would use distilled water as baby oil seems like it would make it too slick and effect the cutting. But hey, use whatever works for you is what I say.

[@MrBod4life]

Great vid. How does this compare to the new m110?

[@MikeEM1]

I haven't tried M110 yet, but I know M110 will have less cut.

[@MrBod4life]

@@MikeEM1 oh ya? they both say will cut up to 1200 grit

[@obliviondio]

105 also cuts 1200grit

[@estebansanchez641]

Can you review m205 and perfect finish ? Thanks 🙏

[@estebansanchez641]

Head to head I mean

[@MikeEM1]

Sure. I mean they're kind of different products. Perfect Finish will offer more cut, as 205 is more of a fine polish.

[@RullyViersa]

I dont hv the tools😭 any tips?

[@Aj-fl2yr]

Does it matter what DA polisher you use? Been wanting to buy the Torq22D

[@MikeEM1]

I'm using a DA polisher here, so no. Skip the Chemical Guys trash products, go buy a Griot's G9.

[@Aj-fl2yr]

MikeEM1 Will do! Thanks man!

[@pktillidie]

Any plans on reviewing the m101 compound?

[@MikeEM1]

Not at the moment. Plus I'd like to get another black swirled panel to test it on. Pretty pricey compound.

[@408khmerguy]

Did that bird etching come out with the compound?

[@MikeEM1]

408khmerguy no you have to wet sand bird etchings. It's very easy to do

[@will21]

You could almost use it as a one step, it looked realy good finish on black there.. Say on a light paint, definitely be one step

[@MikeEM1]

Yeah I would say "almost" could. I'd much rather use Griot's FCC as a one step. That finishes super nice. So does The Last Cut.

[@will21]

@@MikeEM1 I'm looking to try new bottle of compound, between griots fcc, sonax cut max and maybe jescar compound, & HD cut... what would be your choice?

[@MikeEM1]

I haven't tried Cut Max or HD Cut. Apex Detail has a video on all of these. I think he has Cut Max on the top, but said any of those compounds you listed are great. Griot's FCC is a great bang for buck and one of my favorites still.

[@will21]

@@MikeEM1 great thanks for the reply! I'll try fcc because you say it finishes really well. Sonax cuts well I hear but dont know how well it finishes. I'm still stunned how well m100 finishes even on black, if griots can cut as well as m100 and finish, I'll stick w that. Thanks again.

[@MikeEM1]

@@will21 I have a video with Griot's FCC on black paint. Check it out

[@nickgame1994]

How much for a correction like this on a black car as well?

[@MikeEM1]

Depends on car/year, condition, how much correction you're looking for. Interior? Engine bay?

[@nickgame1994]

MikeEM1 its a 2008 Honda Accord, the paint is just swirled up and some scratches here and there, I just want the paint detailed just to bring some life into it so maybe just a one step

[@MikeEM1]

I forgot, is it a 2 door or 4 door

[@nickgame1994]

MikeEM1 4

[@MikeEM1]

Big car. Around $500+. Around there.

[@c6z061]

I still think FCC is the best out there, overall.

[@MikeEM1]

It's always my bench mark to compare any new products to. I bought 3D One, it will be compared to FCC as that's always my go to.

[@02powertube]

FCC ?

[@FrankDannetti]

What do you use after the 100 to polish

[@MikeEM1]

I very much like Sonax Perfect Finish

[@FrankDannetti]

MikeEM1 gonna buy both products from your store. Thank you

[@MikeEM1]

@@FrankDannetti thanks! Really appreciate that

[@OGCONSUMER]

Is it possible to do a one step with m100?

[@MikeEM1]

I guess it's possible, but there's better products out there if you want a heavy cut and nice finish. Griot's FCC amzn.to/2JRw2Oz

[@OGCONSUMER]

MikeEM1 Ok might check that out. What buff and shine pad would you use for a 1step w FCC

[@MikeEM1]

Depends on paint condition, how hard is the clear, but Maroon pad is a start. That's why test spots are important.

[@OGCONSUMER]

MikeEM1 Isn’t Maroon a polishing pad?

[@MikeEM1]

It's a medium cut pad. Yellow is polishing with cut, White is polish

[@hayden199516]

How does M100 compare to TLC?

[@MikeEM1]

M100 cuts more, TLC finishes better(M100 finishes pretty well though). Both are really good products. Depends what your goal is for finish and how much time you're looking to spend paint correcting. If paint is really bad, I'll go to M100 on a Meguiar's MF pad.

[@hayden199516]

What about Sonax CutMax?

Joey Crysel haven't tested it yet

[@c6z061]

Good compound. Excellent cut(one of the best). Not meant as a 1-step compound.

[@NickM1013]

Joey Crysel Sonax Cut & Finish is the best one step especially for black paint, as it has zero dusting.

[@c6z061]

Nick M sonax perfect finish might be better on black, as it still cuts good and finishes better than cut & finish.

[@NickM1013]

mark Saf Its great too, in fact I have the Sonax line of abrasives. The level of cut from cut and finish yields better results imo. Have you tried cut and finish?

What camera do you use?

[@MikeEM1]

[@charlierosenthal1889]

Take it easy pushing the M100. It IS really great stuff but it isn’t a miracle compound. It’s more abrasive than the 105 and M100 is really more designed for harder paint. Also, comes down to cutting pads vs foam pad consistency and pressure vs heat.

[@MikeEM1]

When was I not taking it easy? Also this Mercedes didn't have soft* paint. Also never said it was a miracle compound, just a great bang for buck. Results shown what it did.

[@charlierosenthal1889]

MikeEM1 I wasn’t accusing you of anything. Beginners sometimes misunderstand the reference of product that is available to them and it is easily misconstrued on a short video highlighting a (once again) very good tool/product. My position was simply adding some information which wasn’t mentioned. ALL information is good information. I don’t normally watch KZbin videos about this stuff from people detailing their cars but the title interested me to the point of watching. My intention was not to offend you but, to continue to inform others by way of using your video as a vehicle. You must not be a professional because your jerky response to an actual professional’s input is not helpful. NOW you can be offended. Viewership and followers don’t appreciate negative responses and it eventually cost you. Be better at responding politely to people especially when they didn’t appose you. Keep up the good detail work and get better at your people skills. Just say “thank you for watching”!

[@MikeEM1]

Didn't have a jerky response at all. Was trying to clarify your comment. You could have said, note to beginners, take it easy with M100 and such. I am not a professional. Just a guy on youtube who likes to keep cars clean, paint correct, test products and go tracking with my car. This isn't a business and nothing is going to eventually cost me. I can reply how I want to because this is my channel. People have the freedom to stay or go. I'm sure we both could have worded our comments differently, but my people skills are fine. Have plenty of people who have met me without issues. You're just being sensitive.

[@danlc95]

M100 is designed specifically for a wool pad on a rotary, on any type of paint. Period. It just so happens that M100 has been found to be a very useful liquid for dual action polishers as well - especially with microfiber pads.

[@NickM1013]

Charlie Rosenthal lol!! Did this SJW really post this garbage? Hey pantywaste, why dont you go make your own videos being the pro you are? People like you who are easily offended are gay as f*ck!

Why do you call it "M"100? the bottle clearly says 100 only. "M" means machine and Meguire uses it for the M110 but they don't use the "M" for the 100 like you misrepresented. You confuse people when you do that.

[@MikeEM1]

How am I misrepresenting this product? Even Meguiar's themselves call it M100 on their Instagram. Chill out. instagram.com/p/CJhftjqgU6N/?igshid=158vd89xbok97
