Talking Meguiars 105 & 205 too aggressive for Honda Paint?

I tried searching for a definintive answer but I haven't been able to find it.

I have been reading online about the Kevin Brown Method using the new formulations of Meguiars 105 and 205 with fantastic results.

My question is, would the 105 and 205 bee too aggressive for softer Honda paints?

THanks for the help!!!

I would imagine it is, especially using the KBPCM. I would ask Todd, TSC17. He is a professional detailer based in Columbus, Ohio. He has a NBP Type S and it's incredibly nice. Ask him what his method is for his car.

I highly doubt you'll need it for Honda paint but there have been a few exceptions. It's definitely a strong combination and should be only used if necessary.

M105 and M205 are not too abrasive for Honda paint as long as you use them properly. These polishes have non-diminishing abrasives so you can stop polishing when the defect is removed. The beauty of using these polishes is that you can stop when you want to. For a typical polish with diminishing abrasives, you have to keep polishing until the polish is broken down or you can create additional marring.

Look at the abrasive properties of these compounds- 105 cut 12/12 (high, especially if you consider Megs abrasive scale used to be 1-10) IMO these compounds are for paint renovation / restoration

Honda paint corrects pretty easily, so unless you have some really hammered paint, I'd leave the 105 in the cabinet. If you have just a few heavy defects, you can spot treat it with 105, and then continue on with the rest of the vehicle with another polish.

I had a blue Accord that was in horrendous condition, but it corrected with just Menzerna SIP with the exception of a few spots.
