Here is a trick to deal with M105. When the product is drying up, spray your pad with a squirt of water ( I like to use distilled water) and immediately go back to work on the same panel. This will reactivate the abrasives in M105. A squirt of QD will also help in product removal whenever the need arises.

I very seldom use M105 straight these days. I tend to mix it with M101 or D300 when I need that extra bite.
Thanks for the added info.

I was actually thinking about giving the FG400 and the SF4000 combo a try.

When I finish up the rest of my car tomorrow or next weekend I will definitely use your advice of spritzing the pad with some distilled water when the M105 starts to dry up.

Here's a quick pic I took of my hood. Crappy iPhone pic but its night and day compared to how my hood looked before today.
