If i were going to machine polish a car using maguires compound do you need to use water with it or does it self lubricate

LOADS OF WATER!!!!

depends on what compound you are talking about from Meguiars, 105, 205, D300???

No water is needed at all

Never used any water with a machine polish, bit of spray on the pad before you start and job done.

yip i agree. A spritz of water to prime the pad and then you the correct polishes.

cheers

with the older type compounds water was needed but with the modern stuff its not required. i is handy to have some close by to cool down the panel if it gets too warm

I use megs 105 and 205 and they are fine to use as they are, just prime your pad as normal and you will be ok.
