For some reason I'm having a hard time removing sonax 04-06, it seems to be grabbing my microfiber and becoming a pain! I need to use eraser to remove it all. I have tried less product, smaller section etc. only other thing I can assume is that it's cold in the shop. Im currently using rupes 21 and a rupes white pads.
 
Having used EX for the first time a few weeks ago, the only thing I can image is that you're using too much product. How much are you using initially and after each section? Are you cleaning your pad after each section?

I loved using EX and can't wait to use it again.

Isn't 4/6 for rotary use? There is one for DA, but I don't recall the number.

Sorry you did say EX. Try working the product longer.
 
Most likely, too much product. Use no more than 3 dime size drops.

I used about 1/2 of that amount and experienced some stickiness upon removal, but it was manageable. It definitely wasn't the easiest stuff to remove, but it wasn't terrible...either.

That's what I was doing. I wonder if the cold temps have anything to do with it.

How many section passes? Product was designed for DA and in my use (Rupes 21 + Yellow or White pad), needs to be worked. Product should be be very easy to remove.

5-6. The product dries out and starts to dust terribly if i went any longer than that. This was with a Rupes 21, speed 3.5 on a Rupes yellow pad. But I've only tried it on one vehicle, and it was on an Infiniti that had somewhat sticky paint.
 
I bet it has something to do with the paint then. My experience with EX has been great thus far, but I was also using it on Audi paint (with new Meg's foam cutting disc & Rupes 21).
 
So now I'm using it on a bmw m3 and it is performing great! Wiped off so smooth and easy!
 
Are there any fillers with this one (the DA version)? I noticed that Perfect Finish did.
