I am working on a subaru wrx. I did a test spot with both wg finishing glaze and tsr. I decided my car did not need the tsr and went with the finishing glaze. As I was doing my test spots I noticed both of these products were very hard to buff off. I was using the flex 3401 with the lc ccs white pad. Am I working the product too long or not enough? I cant see myself doing the entire car if these products are this hard to get off. I thought as a glaze it would be pretty easy to remove. Any help with what I might be doing wrong. Thanks in advance

this is straight from the Autogeek site. slow your speed down and follow these directions.
Machine Application:
1. Clean and dry the vehicle. Apply Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0 out of direct sunlight.
2. Use a soft foam finishing pad. Apply a bead of polish to the vehicle. With the polisher turned off, spread the polish over about a 2 x 2 sq. ft. area.
3. Polish at 1000-1200 RPM (4 to 4.5 on a dual action polisher) working slowly across and then up and down the area. Check your work after several passes to see if the defects have been removed. If so, reduce the pressure and continue buffing until a high gloss is achieved. If the pad becomes dry, mist it with Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz and continue buffing.
4. Wipe the polished area with a damp microfiber cloth.
5. Always apply a wax or sealant after compounding or polishing. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 seals in the shine with its long-lasting polymer formula. Wolfgang Füzion Estate Wax is a blend of carnauba wax and polymers that offers supreme protection with a traditional paste wax feel.

For the Flex, I would suggest 5.5 speed minimum and work approximately 6 to 8 passes (depends on work area/amount of polish used) using a LC finishing pad (or equivalent). If it is disappearing around 4 to 5 passes, you should use a tad more to get maximum gloss.
It should finish nicely and be easy to wipe off. Use less pressure at the end (maybe a little less speed) and the gloss should improve. With the FG you are really after gloss since it will correct even with a black pad. If you have soft paint, use a blue/red pad.
