I need some advice on how to remove these stains. I dont have a water extractor. I do have alot of Adams products though.

Is there some combination of products I can use to remove them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi I was wondering if you guys knew what this is and how to remove it. I tried removing it with clay but it didn't work "/ I think it's tree sap but not sure.

I just finished a detail on my car and I noticed during the orange polishing stage that the pad started having a small dark blue tint to it which is the color of the paint on my car. After I noticed that I put less pressure than usual on my polisher. My car is 14' Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.

Did I ruin the clear coat on my car? There seems to be no signs of haziness or cloudiness on the surface of the paint.

Any insight is helpful.

I was using the new foam pads w/ the new 2 step system 6k rpm on Porter Cable.

Pic is attached to thread.

First use, thought it could have been maybe too much product? 

Tried washing it off  >.< Lots of dawn to try to get it off and still there. 

Can I keep using this pad? The build up isnt rough, well doesnt seem like it.

Kinda have to zoom in to see the build up.

What do you guys think?

But it just seems wierd how with the previous system I would leave the polish all till the end and removal all instead of by section with ease.

Did you actually feel how hot the surface of the paint was before using the polish?  How long did you work the polish?

I'm not sure I'm clear, you did an SUV in an hour? Or did each panel take an hour?

It seems like sense you have used the old system you woulfd be familiar with teh process, so I'm not sure what is causing your issue. I can say I have been using the new system for a while and have no issues.

A few more details, and pictures would help, What machine are you using, PC, Flex, Cyclo?

Is the product too thick? Use less

Is the product too oily? Work it longer

Is the product just subborn? Try a little Detail Spray

We'll get you through it.

Oh no sorry I did this post last night after a long day at work

But the SUV took me roughly 6-7 Hours to do. It took about an hour to remove the Polish Residue is what I meant to say. >.<

I don't have any photos but I am using a Porter Cable. Hmm I have been using the new Microfiber pads and it seems like the product is too thick after the process is complete. I tried using less and it was still hard to remove.

I have also been using the conditioner after 2 sections or so. Could it be I am using too much product? I used about a x sized line when first priming. Then after that I used about 2-4 pea sized dots for each panal.

After you work a section and the product has flashed at the end of the buffing cycle, it should be easy to wipe clean any residue.

 

If you're overworking the product it could dry pretty tough and be tougher to remove.  However I wouldn't leave polish residue on the car and then try to remove all at the end, you're not removing wax/sealant residue.

 

A spritz of Detail Spray or Waterless would help you when wiping down after each step of polishing as well.  How much product do you use per pass?  If your pad is primed properly, you only need about 2-3 pea sized drops per section pass, assuming you are using PC/Griots and 7" pads.

 

If using Cyclo and each pad is primed, prob only 2 pea sized dots per section pass at most on each pad.

Could be that I have been overworking the product. So I should just remove the polish right after each panal instead of leaving it towards the end?

Hmm I may be using too much product then. I am using 7" pad and a PC.

I'll try the detail spray trick and see if that helps.

I am going to be working on a Truck this up coming week and I was wanting to see what advice I could get to reduce the time of removal.

Cant seem to remove residue left from going over around the handle area.

Any tips on how to remove?

Heres a pic.

Used the Paint Correcting and Finishing Polish with the new microfiber pads for the first time.

Pleased with the results.

However, it took me literally 30-45 mins to remove the residue. I did the whole car before I removed it like I used to do in the previous 3 step system and in high heat area.

I thought it was just because it was really hot that day. 

So I give it a go on a cool day in a shaded area. I did a huge SUV this time.

However same results, still took A LONG TIME to remove. It was this time much longer about an hours worth for each Polish. 

I also tried removing the Polish right after each section. Nope still completely difficult to remove.

Almost forgot to mention that I pretty much have to force the residue off. 

Is my product defective or is it just me? I honestly never had this problem with the previous 3 step system (Swirl Haze Remove, Severe, etc...)

Please give me some insight. I have always been a fan of Adams Products and I did not want to leave negative feedback.

Thank You and sorry for the long story.

Day Pics

Had the whole day free so I decided to do a paint correction on my ZX-6r. Previous owner did not take care of the paint that much. There were scratches and swirls all over the bike. All done with a porter machine.
Did them in these steps:

-Washed
-Clayed
-Severe Swirl Remover
-Swirl/Haze Remover
-Machine Fine Polish
-Glaze
-Wax

Took Approximately 3 and 1/2 Hrs. Bike is practically scratchless and swirless. And the shine... don't get me started :mrgreen:

Let me know what you think:)

Thanks
