Hey guys wondering if I'm doing something. First time trying out this product. I primed an orange LC pad and applied some product and went to polishing. Went to go wipe off and it's like it's glued to the paint. Maybe I'm using too much?

The paint isn't too hot it's not in the sun either. I'm lost.

What kind of vehicle? Some cars Subaru comes to mind has extremely tacky paint. Or maybe still too much product being left behind. How many passes ?
 
Nissan 370z and yes I did clay. I tried to play with the amount of passes from 2 to 8 to no solution

You said the paint isn't to hot.maybe it's hot enough for the product not to perform correctly.is it bonding to the paint or how is the working time?
 
Yeah seems like it was just bonding to the paint making it really hard to get off

I think the paint was to warm.Ive used that product before and it's user friendly.Did you finish the car.
 
It's my car and I was only doing the hood. I switched to a different machine and it worked a little better but probably due to the fact it was a little cooler. This was my test panel to finish with cquartz ceramic coating

What machine were you using during the process before switching to another machine.
 
Flex 3401. Switched to my PC that I haven't used in a while

That polish is a very light polish with short working time.It flashes quickly and deosnt remove light to moderate swirls.Its a product that can be utilized on a new car that needs some amp.I think the 3401 is overkill using that product on warm paint and adding more warmth from the 3401.
 
Well now I know what not to use on warm paint!

Not a good idea to use an AIO product that includes a sealant as your "base" for a coating.

Essence would be a better choice, or stick with a pure polish.

Sorry, that doesn't address your issue but just came to mind while reading through your posts...

BLACKFIRE Total Polish & Seal is an incredibly easy to use AIO. I use it quite often with my 3401 and have never run into issues such as you describe. This product DOES have the ability to remove/improve defects in the paint. Even neglected DD can benefit from its use.


Here is a review/video I have put together for it.

Its more of a cleaner polish than a polish with mild abrasives.I find its good for new car preps and defect free surfaces that you want to improve in little time.light swirls and light scratches I would go with 151 or speed.
 
My experience is that it is mild AIO and any cut is determined more by the pad selection. It did not disappear like the directions state but it does wipe off. It has a good work time.
