From the pictures it looks like you are not breaking the polish down enough...too much hazing for SSR2.5.

Here is what I'd recommend -

The amount of passes and time will vary - polish, temperature, humidity, speed, speed of movement, pressure, pad & paint all play a factor on "how long to work the polish in".


Here is what I do with any new polish I use for the first time ·

* Using a 1'x1' section - apply the polish the same as any other polish
* using little pressure and speed 4.5 - 5 work the polish in.
* At each change in the polish I remove a section and see how the paint looks
* repeat at each change until very little or no hazing is present (this will very depending on the abrasiveness of the polish).

The reason for speed 4.5-5 and little pressure is, it goes through the stages slower so you can determine when it's broken down without under or over working the polish.

After doing this you will now know what it looks like when the polish is broken down and you can increase the speed, pressure, etc. to get the job done.

Good luck!
