01. I've worked on many e46 3series and none of them were this hard. It caught me completely off guard

Haha, its all good. I was just worried because I bought an M105 to use by hand a month before its coming out. I shouldn't be missing much though

I take it that after reading these posts that you all used these Meguiar's with an orbital buffer? Can you use these by hand instead or is that no good? I mean by hand doing the whole car, not just around door handles.

#105 and #205 can be used by hand, DA or Rotary.

I use a DA(dual action) buffer because I think it does a better job over all than by hand and it cuts the time down significantly. Also, it's almost fool proof. If you aren't experienced, stay away from the orbital buffer or you can do some damage to the paint.

Hence my problem, I have no experience with a buffer. I always feared of damaging the paint so I took the safer route by doing everything by hand.
