Default Looking for tips.

So, I'm having a difficult time spreading product using my MF applicators. I was wondering if you guys had any tips? Would QD on the pad help?


Also, Sonus Polish seems to be tough to remove sometimes, Any tips for removing it? I heard QD and distilled water, but curious if anyone had any other tips.


Thanks guys.

I was using CG's Ez-Creme glaze, and also had a problem spreading JS109. when I started to spread them, it got really.... blotchy, and tough to drag, and dried fairly quickly when drug.

assume you are in the shade and not in excess humidity or heat?

and that you are fully working your polishes?
(your symptoms sound like either weather or not working the polishes until they break down fully- is that possible?)

I was in a garage being heated by propane heaters, was about... 60-70, body panels were about the same temp, weren't cold to the touch or anything. Idk, I'll try them at a detail day next weekend, just looking for any tips.

Exact same thing as working on my mums Hyundai Santa Fe. Same products that work brilliantly on my s2k, they just smear on her car. I almost think it is because her car is left out in the sun all day and get abuse, the clear coat is starting to fail.

That isn't the case with my car, so IDK. But like you said, It doesn't really spread, it more smears.... I even tried folding the pad in half, and using the folded edge, and that seemed to help a little bit...
