I would recommend using the PFW pad with the SIP. In the dry desert air where I'm at, I can't ever get SIP to break down all the way before it dries up. Normally, you want to work it until it goes completely clear. However, if it starts to dry up on you before it goes clear, stop. Wipe off the residue, and re-apply if necessary. If you would like to be able to work the polish until it is completely and correctly broken down, add about 1 oz of 106 to 5 ounces of SIP. This will make the SIP much easier to work, give it a very long working time, and reduce the correcting power of the SIP a bit. Don't add *too* much 106 to it, though, because it will *really* start to reduce SIP's bite.
106 is also a bit different. It does go clear when it's broken down, but what you are *really* looking for is for it to go very, *very* oily looking. Like you just sprayed vegetable oil on your paint. 106 will start off looking hazey, then about 1.5 to 2 minutes (YMMV) later, it'll go clear. Don't stop yet. Keep working it. After it goes clear, it will gradually start to look oily. When it finally looks like just a layer of oil on your car, it's done.
