Re: Issues today on a SUV I've done 4 times before.

eb, friggin bee-utiful!
Ok, after deliberating with several folks, its been narrowed down to the fact I may not have been using enough PS. This was more then likely due to the fact that im so accustomed to using the polish and compound, for extended periods, and merely adding product for the abrasive value. As those of you know, who have used the polish and compound, it has an uncanny extended use period. And when you add additional product, (After your pad is seasoned) its not necessarily as much for lubrication values, as it is for abrasives. In other words, once the pad is seasoned, additional applications of product to pad, naturally provides more lubricants, but its the abrasives that are diminished and your trying to replace before moving on.
Well, the PS, has nowhere near the oils or abrasives, as does its sister products. It was suggested to me, that I may have actually been using too little product, and "dry buffing", a term feared by many, lol. (not funny) It was also recommended that I use more then whats traditional with the Polish or Compound due to this fact. Also, in others experience, a more closed cell pad, such as the Sonus white or comporable LC pad, would allow less absorption into the cells.... It all makes common sense to me. I'll give it a shot, next go around, but i suspect I've (we've) nipped this one in the bud.

The white LC pads work very well with Poli-Seal.

Thanks. Since selling my business, I don't do it for the money, I do it for the pure enjoyment of the hobby.

Scott, whats instigates your choice of using the PS vs another product? In other words, "when" do you use it....?
Im gearing its use towards vehicles that are in pretty decent shape, and not in need of any 'real" swirl removal. But just to use its abrasives as a cleaner instead. I fig'd if I needed a light swirls removal, Id go to OP, then follow up with my UPP routine.

I do a test panel or two. If it isn't enough, then I bump it up to something else and use OPS as my finishing glaze or LSP depending on the job requirements.
