i'm a megs fan. not gonna say its any better than any other, but i prefer the twins. to cut/ buff, fresh cc thats been wet sanded, i start with my rotary, a wool pad, then m105. i switch to my porter cable 7424, an orange lake country pad and m105 and make a pass with that. then switch to m205, an orange lake country pad and 205. i get awesome results.
the 105 can be tricky to use. it dusts up and takes practice to use. i wasted a LOT of it when i 1st started using it, but have gottten better with practice and cut my product use down greatly.

surf meguiars online forum and you'll find a lot of tips for using the twins.
