I like D300 but it dusts a lot, it's been a long time since I've used 105. I like the Meguiars Finishing MF pads on the Rupes and Griots. No experience with the HF one.

As others have said Foam pads are usually what I use for Polishing.

M105 and 205 used to be tried and true but there are newer products out that I like more...

What are some other 2 stage polishes that you like better?

I Personally like HD Adapt, Polish and Cut. I like Meguiar's D300 and 205.....just depends on the car, the hardness of the paint and clear. Look in GoFast908Z's ask a professional detailer thread, there is a mass amount of knowledge dropped in that thread...

I've never had dusting problems with D300 nor have I heard of any. That's why everyone uses D300 with M105. D300 is like anything else if worked too long or too hard it will dry out. What combo were you using when it dusted?

I've had the same experience with the MF finishing pads on the Rupes especially if I'm using M101 or FG400. FG400 makes A LOT of heat.
