It was really humid but cool and i had all kinds of problems today. It kept caking up the pad and spitting off in balls of polish. I changed the pad twice and brushed the pad after each pass and nothing worked then i tried mixxing some optimum AIO thought that might help but nothing. It just wouldnt flash and i had trouble getting it off the paint even with the IPA wipe down. It was the only polishes i had with me so i stuggled all day long. Ive had it be tempermental before but nothing like this,,has anyone had any luck mixxing something in when this happens? I need to find another polish pair to use when something like this happens any ideas?

These polishes were designed to work by utilizing friction to break-down the diminishing abrasives, while in the controlled temperature / humidity environment (working temp range 60 – 800F (15-260C) of a vehicle manufacturer’s paint shop finishing line. It is possible to obtain results with Menzerna polishes utilizing a random orbital polisher; but these products were formulated for use with a high-speed rotary polisher that produces high friction and by using the correct pads. By using detailing products / tools in ways that they were not designed for could impact their ultimate performance and the results obtained.

It can be the weather but I find that alot of the time it is a dehydrated paint finish or working on new or near new waterborne paint finishes with sticky clearcoat

It doesn't really happen with the Makita, but it happens all the time when I used a PC. When I used the PC, I would shut the garage door and get the fan going to cool the garage.
 
Thus why I invented a new technology pre polishing preparation product that hydrates, moisturises, nourishes and chemically cleans the paint so it's ready to be polished
