Yes, go on Meguiar's website they have a chart on which they show whats harsher. Meg also show on the lable a red arrow to show scale.

M105 first, then M205; dont mix pad and chems.

From left to right, the most aggressive to the least aggressive



M105 Ultra-Cut Compound/M95 Speed Cut Compound = The same in abrading power
Ultimate Compound
ScratchX 2.0
M86 Solo Cut & Polish Cream
D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream
SwirlX
M205 Ultra Finishing Polish

The order shown here is relative, to the idea that if all things were equal, if all influencing factors could be controlled and be identical when using these products.

The way a product is applied, (by hand or machine and if by machine the type of machine), and the application material used to apply the products, (foam, wool, wool/acrylic blend, cotton, microfiber), are both HUGE factors that will and do affect how aggressive a product is or isn't.
