exo-ak-dk · 11-21-2011, 06:40 AM

Hi there

I've upgraded to a new machine(flex rotary pe 14-2-150)

The polish i use which is meguairs 105 and 205 ten to dry out to quick with the rotary :/

Does any of you know a good polish i should use with a rotary polisher?
I think that Meguairs 105 and 205 is some good polishes always used them, but it dry out to quick with the rotary

M105 was originally designed for rotary use at body shops, the new version was adapted for DA use so it should work well on a rotary still. Do you know which version you have? I have seen dusting with M105 on a DA but all you need to do is spritz some Distilled water and continue working when you get to that point.
Not seen M205 on a rotary but again with a bit of experimentation it should work well.
Might get better feedback on the Megs stuff on MOL so post there maybe?

Most Menz polishes work well on a rotary due to their longer working times.

What speeds on the PE14 were you using?

im acutally not using it at high rpms....When i pass 1000 rpm it dry out so quick!

Im thinking about some menzerna product too, so i guess i will try that?

did you prime the pad first? maybe use it with Menz 106FA or even 85RD to help a bit? If you don't have Menz handy, try it with little detail spray?

Go ahead and try this:

1. Prime the pad THOROUGHLY.
Rub it in with your hand. It'll take a bit more than you're used to applying.

2. Apply a bead of M105 to the surface, pull it in, and polish at low speed (1000 rpm).
Try 2-3 passes, or until the M105 is just starting to dry.

3. Using a fine mist, spray the surface with water.
Do not add additional product- Just re-polish with what's already in the pad.

I think you'll see a 50% improvement in the cut, but you'll probably see an increase in swirling (it can be easily removed).

After trying this method (count it as one cycle), spur the wool pad (blow it clean with compressed air if you have it).

I won't PROMISE a better result, but I am pretty sure you're going to GET a better result.
