No guess work as to whether or not the polish is broken down, and no worrying about correct RPM. Just work it under 1k RPM. This stuff is insanely easy to use.

Let us know how it works for you!
well I must be doing something wrong then, as I'm struggling a bit with this stuff

I am putting 4 blobs on the pad (3M finishing blue 6" pad) and spreading and working at 900rpm - the min speed of my rotary. The pad just doesnt glide nicely like with 106 when its working nicely, or MarkV Mystique, that I have also been playing with today - both nice and oily and a joy to use.

Light pressure only but after a few times over the area, the pad is just wanting to jump a bit and generally be a little annoying to use. I am also finding the polish a bit of a pain to wipe away afterwards as well - needed a spray of QD one time. I cant keep working it until its gone as the pad is not wanting to keep going nicely, even after 8-10 passes over the paint.... I thought I would just see the residue disappear and leave almost nothing to wipe away, but thats just not happening for me.

It IS finishing well, and taking away very slight marks on my Audi test panel, and bringing up a nice gloss, but it just isnt as nice as I had hoped to actually use.

Any tips please... wondering if I need a bit more/less product to help it work better so will try again in a few minutes...
