From what Ryan thinks the sharp abrasives are actually biting into the soft clear before they are broken down. So I will make sure I have some IP and FPII with me on the next "soft clear car" I polish. Back to your question, I just wanted to ensure the paint was hologram free. On something like a vette, I like the 106ff/white as the clear is so hard it just does not matter with the rotary.
I've never had this happen with 106ff before, but I've had it happen alot of times with SIP. The last time it happened, I went over the car with an IPA wipedown. That did the trick. SIP worked well and without one "binding" from then on. It appears that Menz's ceramiclear polishes are picky about what is on a car... QD residue, previous polishes, LSP traces, etc. It seems to prefer a completely bare surface to really work well on. A grey LC pad seems to work a bit better with 106 on really soft clears.

That car looks a-mazing. I bet the owner was floored.
