Did some work today

Other than the curiosity factor, I think if you're happy with the results of Hyper-Comound, don't bother with M101.

If M101 worked better than HC, that would be a good reason to change.

I was happy with the PB SSR line until I tried PB PP and HC/HP pair.
- Before this I was happy M81 until I tried PB SSR line.
- Before this I was happy with Mothers Polish until I tried Megs M81.

Time to move to M101 Steve. It's flat out awesome.

I only tried hyper compound on one vehicle 4ish years ago. I ran into the same issue as RR and the spray head would gum up. I can't even remember how well it worked to compare. I gave the HC to a friend to try shortly after and never asked for it back.

If tax time works our well for you, may be time to try M101!

Wow, that much better than OPT Hypercompound ?

If you have used both side by side and have this opinion, I'm all in.

I learned my lesson getting opinions from others on the reflect polish.  It was really no different use & finish than the quarts of PB PP I have around when using it on a blue / red pad.

Ok, I will offer my opinion again having used both.   I would like quote RockPick on this when he said.   "this isn't rocket science and there are multiple ways to skin a cat" 

That being said, once we find a few things that we like we stick with it,(we can push and pull a product with pad and machine combos to fit our needs) but there are times, at least for me that I have to be ready for anything and having tools for the right situation are the key for me.  Not all paint is equal.  Right?   

I wouldn't tell you to switch, I would advise you rather to try and see if it works for you and figure out if its a product needed for your arsenal.

When it comes to purchasing the 1st bottle of a new product, what is the difference between switching and trying ? 
I am just trying to minimize how many bottles of product I purchase, and toss in the trash.

If I were to stick with the few things I used, that I thought worked well at the time, I never would have tried a Flex, MF pads, PB,  OPTor Menz products.
I would still be in the stone ages with M81 on dual 4" org foam pads on my cyclo, beating my head against the wall trying to remove defects while making a bigger mess of the job.

I have my share of products that got tossed for falling flat, and products that are in the "also ran" category that the hype surpassed the reality.
- I have a Bigfoot polisher sitting in the box in the basement waiting to be shipped to someone to try.  If you have a Flex already expect the Mckayla Olympic podium look on your face when you get done with it.

Maybe someone could throw a few ounces in a "test" bottle and ship it off to Steve? I would, but I'm pretty sure it would cost more in shipping from Canada then it's worth.

Steve, FWIW, I think it's a pretty great product. Having said that, I am still thinking about getting a bottle of M100 and trying it out. I see a lot of cutting benefit with MF pads and maybe a MF pad specific polish might "out shine" (get it... ) M101 or M105.
