Thanks Tony ,it was in the low 70's and I primed with DS. The pads are foam. Oh I did go down to 4, same result. Its a mystery

Yes also clayed

Pads were immaculate and the humidity was 84%. Thanks for answering in the past there would have been a lot of responses. I guess drying polish isn't a sexy topic.

No one has a suggestion?

I am starting to experience something new that I need help with. I am using the Flex polisher along with SHR and FMP. I use the smooth orange pad as well as the smooth white pad. I subscribe to less is more so the correct amount of polish and I prime the pads. Unfortunately I have to polish outdoors but today was cloudy and cool. In less that one pass, in a correct amount of area, the pad started to grab and the polish immediately dried on the paint, proceeding just started to mar the finish. No matter how much Detail spray I used the polish had absolutely no working time and it was a bear to gt off the car. The polish went from pad to dry never Vaseline . I have been doing this a long time so I know about speed, priming etc. The only thing I am wondering is if the polish I am using is too old, being cheap it is probably from 2011 although it i well stored. Any other suggesting why both polishes are drying so quickly? Thanks

Your mechanic tells you what a pleasure it is to work on your car due to its appearance and condition.

Didn't you know

But how do you hold the towel and get the angles?

How about the inside? Thats where I get my streaks.

What ever happened to the expiration of the clay patent which would affect clay prices?

OK I have been doing this for 4 years what should I be looking for?

So just how do you gauge how hard your clearcoat is?

Jose was kind enough to polish my car at the old Torrence warehouse and show my son how it was done. Our family prayers are with him.

Make sure your not standing in a puddle of water:)

Anyone ever vacuum the wash pads when dry to really get out the contaminants?

This does work on plastic bumpers but not metal. Sometimes just the heat will pop it out but be careful

Oh I use my Porter Cable for the Wax

Yeah I thought about wiping down a car with dust on it. I live on a hill with wind, usually my cars are dusted about a half hour after I do my wash. I have come to make peace with this situation though and realize the process gives me the pleasure not that my car will look good at the end of the day. No garage so... Don't think I used to much wax and spread it pretty thin. Although, while polishing with the Flex the polish drys almost immediately so I use a lot of Detail Spray and the polish does not seem to go to far so there may be a bit to much polish. Being a mizzer I am still using Machine Super Wax.

Makes sense but is it possible to just let what is on the car dry longer then off with a towel?
