Sticky Paint

[Rsurfer]

They are supposed to come out with direct inject next year. Adding about 25 more horsepower. Then redesign in 2 years. I'd wait.

We carry Infinti as my dealership i can always walk next store and ask them any questions you may.Hopefully i can find someone there that can answer them.LOL shoot me a PM so it doesn't take up forum space with what ever you like to know.

Thanks, but I'll just visit the dealership here and get some answers.

I hate to bring up an old thread but I found this because I am having the same problem. I am currently using a rupes yellow pad with adams fine machine polish and getting a sticky feeling on the paint. The vehicle is a 2011 FX35. After claying the car it feels very smooth from the detail spray but becomes tacky after i try polishing. I have the scratch shield clear on my 2009 FX50 and this combo works well and I dont get the sticky feeling. I guess I may need to try a different pad/polish

I'm not sure who makes Adams polishes and compounds, but I personally have struggled with sticky paint in the past, I found that Menzerna and especially Meguiar's compounds and polishes are a nightmare to use on sticky paint. I believe both companies make top notch abrasives that are easy to use 99% of the time, but for sticky paint, neither preforms well in my experience. After encountering this issue numerous times, I started researching and testing out new compounds and polishes to see if there was something that performed substantially better for those problematic jobs.

The best polish I've used to date, that actually seems to remove easier on soft sticky paint is HD Polish+
Not only is Polish+ cheap but it smells good, works great on hard and soft paint, and it is extremely lubricated yet never leaves behind an oily film.

For those willing to pay twice as much, Scholl Concepts has created and entire line of polishes and compounds that even in full sun on sticky paint is easily removed and nearly impossible to over work. But, AG stopped carrying the scholl's line so I would really encourage you to order at the very least 8 ounces of HD Polish+ because it truly is in a league of its own for sticky paint polishing. Hope this helps!!! Good luck

Thanks for the advice! I will order some of the HD Polish+ and see how that does. For some reason it seemed like the plastic parts (bumpers, etc) didnt get the sticky feeling as bad as the metal panels. I found that Rupes has a pad chart for sticky paint. Without having the rupes polishes I'm not sure how much helps but I did find that the yellow pad worked best on my scratch shield paint vs the fine white pad. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...rupes-pad-compound-recommendation-charts.html
