Remove a vehicle’s worst imperfections quickly with professional grade Meguiar’s M105 Ultra-Cut Compound. A Few Tips About Applying M105 Ultra-Cut Compound Compounds should be applied to small areas at a time, when working either by hand, with a dual action polisher such as Meguiar's G110v2 Dual Action Polisher, or with a rotary polisher. Keep the following points in mind when working with any compound like Meguiar's M105 Ultra-Cut Compound: compounds do not need to dry before removing and in fact should be wiped off immediately after working them over the finish. Dispense a small amount of Meguiar’s M105 Ultra-Cut Compound Compound directly onto a foam applicator pad or a small, clean 100% cotton terry towel. Follow up with any Meguiar’s polish and wax, like M205 Ultra Finishing Polish and Ultimate Wax. Turn on the Meguiar’s DA Polisher and begin buffing using light to moderate pressure in an overlapping pattern while keeping the pad flat against the paint at all times. Apply additional Ultra-Cut Compound as needed until defects have been removed. Follow up with any Meguiar’s polish and wax, like M205 Ultra Finishing Polish and Ultimate Wax. Attach the appropriate wool or foam cutting pad to the rotary polisher and set the tool speed to 1600-1800rpm for light scratches and swirls, 1200-1600rpm for moderate scratching and swirling. Apply a bead of M105 directly to the paint surface and begin working in a 2’ x 2’ area with overlapping passes. For final polishing, choose the appropriate Meguiar’s foam pad and any Meguiar’s polish, such as M205 Ultra Finishing Polish. Great for removing scratches, defects, acid rain and severe swirls/holograms.

"I chose to do the whole car by hand to reduce swirl marks and holograms; therefore, it did take a little longer than I thought it would. The only problem I had was that after it got on the car it was kind of tough to get off (I would recommend using a damp microfiber towel to remove)."
"Better cutting power than CG V32, and on my white charger it seems to leave a perfect finish but I still go back over it with 205 just to get any extra shine or clarity available."
"Some people can get amazing results with this but I had trouble with product work time and dusting."
"After knocking down the orange peel with 1500 paper (wet), I used the 105 Ultra Cut to clean up the tank. The tank came out great - even using just the ultra cut."
"make sure you tape off all areas of plastic and rubber trim with painters tape before you begin and have a few microfiber towels ready to wipe off the dust."
"I accidentally over-applied some c-quartz crystal coating to my car and this was able to remove the excess without much effort."
"Works good and leaves a real nice shine."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After extensive research I went ahead and got this sealer for my 99' ML430 that was leaking somewhere and holding the system vacuum for 15 minutes."
"This sealer worked to stop a slow leak on the AC system of my Honda."
"The car had minor problems save for one that is serious here in the mid-Atlantic....the AC was not working. When the leak became impossible to find I realized it was most likely the evaporator core. Everyone knows that it can be a very expensive job costing 1 to 2 thousand dollars. Frankly, I had resigned myself to the fact that there was no way to fix a mechanical problem with this. Compared to over a grand to fix the AC trying this is a no brainer. Additionally, even though the instructions require you to fully charge the system prior to adding Super Seal Premium, you still have to add more refrigerant to insure that the service (low pressure) port remains patent."
"evacuated and recharged my AC and said it would probably last 6 mos."
"The leak was larger than what Cliplight recommends its product should be used on, but I tried it anyway."
"The Suburban would leak out the freon about every 4th week."
"It blew cold for a couple days of driving like always...but it has sat for a few days and i tried it tonight..and the clutch was short cycling...low side pressure was down to about 20psi. Same kind of deal...i checked my system pressure and while its still blowing cold..the low side pressure has bled from 40 to 30."
"The instructions were followed to a "T" and it worked for about 17 days before I started seeing a system pressure drop and at 5 weeks the system required recharging."

If you do this religiously, then you will never have automatic transmission problems, and trust me, you don't want to have it either as that would mean an average repair bill of 2-4k.. Not a happy experience to go through."
"Good Stuff - there are no substitutes for Honda ATF in Honda transmissions."

"A few months later when I had to pull the water housing to change a faulty thermostat, the compound was still in perfect condition, including on the bolts that were attached to the block and subject to the most extreme temperature variances."
"Asked about it, told what it does, how a little goes a long way on bolt threads, and how nice it is down the line to remove bolts, lug nuts, et al if you clean the threads on old bolts and apply a bit to them or directly on new bolts, as above."
"Great stuff for spark plugs."
"This is one of those things that are not REALLY necessary, and you could easily go without it, but you will thank yourself later on if you have to remove screws and other stuff, and it come out easily, instead of having you swear for half an hour and maybe strip the threads, or the head of the screw (which will result in a lot more swearing)."
"With 123,000 miles and a suspect maintenance history, and was very worried with the force it took to remove the old plugs and the squeaking noises as the plugs complained about being removed."
"I installed 16 plugs in my "06" Hemi and I used about 10% of the tube, a little goes a long way, even applying it the the entire threaded portion of the spark plug."
"When attaching threaded fasteners that are prone to corrosion or rust on machinery that's exposed to the elements, you're asking for big trouble if you don't coat the treads with anti-seize compound."

"Changed out the fluid of my honda every 3-5 days to cycle it out instead of attempting to flush."
"The fluid was badly darkened, I drained the reservoir using a Mityvac MV8000, the 3 bottles of Honda Genuine Power Steering Fluid was enough to do several reservoir flushes over several days, driving the car to circulate the fluid after each flush."
"Now that cars have to use only official fluids, we can't find this product at automotive stores!"

Put some of this on the screws and the bike will rust into a hulk or get stolen before you have to worry about those screws coming out. If it doesn't follow the threads, it will come off and surround the screw head."
"As always, locktite works well to keep nuts and bolts from loosening even under severe vibration."
"It's Loctite Threadlocker."
"I mostly use it for car stereo installations on amp racks, to keep things from vibrating loose over time."

"A great product and absolutely necessary if you want your screws to remain tight."
"The clips are held onto the holster by screws and over the course of a couple days of wearing it with a lot a movement (Plus I'm a big guy) the screws kept coming loose. Now I don't have to keep re-tightening my screws every couple of days on my holster to prevent them from falling out, this solved that problem."
