I will be giving this bottle of polish another try this weekend, weather permitting. The more I think of it though I still can't pin point what happened during this particular polishing session. Just to comment on some of the recommendations and comments listed above, after my initial 4 or 5 dime sized dots to prime the pad along with the initial shot of detail spray, I stopped adding product thinking that I had placed too much on the pad to start and kept reactivating with detail spray. I was only working on a section equal to about a quarter of an entire hood. I brushed the micro fiber pad out with the conditioning brush what felt like every minute, as soon as the polish hazed and basically seem to dry it would start causing the nap of the pad to go flat. I also tried the same process with a orange foam pad using 3 smaller dots of polish, and the same results, the polish would haze up and appear to dry like you would expect from a wax. I will be giving this another shot this weekend, and have another bottle of correcting polish and finishing polish on its way just to compare, along with a new rupes 15 cant wait to try that polisher out.

Thanks for the replies, I will try all recommendations when I get home.

Could it be possible that since the paint correcting polish had set for approx. 6 months since it's last use that the product may have separated and was not mixed thoroughly enough, even though I always shake the bottle before and during the correcting process.

The panel had completely cooled and was cool to the touch, this was performed several hours after the sun went down and the truck had been washed. The humidity could have played a role in it drying so fast maybe, I've never had this happen.

I do not have any pictures of the truck it was late at night and hard to capture anything with a camera. I was using Paint Correcting Polish (double and triple checked the bottle to make sure). The paint was not hot, it was in the lower to mid 80's that night, but the truck had been washed previously that night and the paint was cool. I was using a orange microfiber pad. Speed setting 6 with the Flex and speed setting 6 on the Rupes 75 mini. With the Flex I was using 4 or 5 dime sized drops and the Rupes was using maybe 3 small drops.

Alright I will attempt to cover all aspects concerning the recent failure I experienced with my current bottle of paint correcting polish. First a little on my background, I am NOT a professional by any means, though I have been polishing and correcting my own vehicles for 10+ years and utilizing Adam's products for the last 2 years or so. About a month ago (sometime around mid July or so) a good friend of mine came to me with her 2009 Chevy Silverado with severely damaged paint (honestly I have never seen paint look this bad). She wanted her paint corrected, so I did a test section on the passenger side fender with great results, I actually felt bad after the test section was done because the difference stood out. Then she decided to go ahead and start the rest of the truck, performed a two bucket wash, dried, and clayed the hood and fenders, we only had enough time to perform the correct in steps. The issue/failure was as soon as the paint correcting polish was applied to the paint and spread around with both my flex and rupes mini it seemed to haze like a wax almost immediately. I had zero working time with the polish as soon as it hit the truck it would haze and as I continued to work the polish it would produce a crazy amount of dusting. I have used this same polish on my 2013 and 2014 Ford Raptor with no issue (this was several months ago). I have recently placed another order for paint correcting and finishing polish. Looking for any input to what could have caused this failure. *Temperature that night was probably in the low 80's (I live in the Gulf Coast area of Texas). *This correction was being done at approximately 9:00 PM so no direct sunlight. *My products are all stored in the garage in a storage cabinet *The product was some of the first I have purchased so it may have been around 2 years old 3 years tops. *Between July and August we did have some soaring temperatures in excess of 100+ degrees. Let me know ya'lls (yes that is a word) thoughts on what could have happened.
