SVR has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Still can't work out PO85RD

Did some mucking around with Menz PO85RD final finish and no matter what pad, speed (up to 1300 rpm or working time) , I always end up with a good finish but a sticky, damn hard to remove residue
Is it that the menzerna rd hasn't broken down.
I know that it hangs around for ages when buffing it but why am I always getting this problem
Fortunately I have many other compounds and polishes

Is the intensive polish po85rd 3.01 product softer in cut that PO91L IP
This is the reason that I don't use RD that much.

What speeds and edge foam pads are best for it..

I suspect you are using too much of the P085RD. Next time, just drizzle a thin line (1/8 - 3/16 inch wide half way out the pad radius or a dollup sized between a dime and a nickel), smear over the paint and then hit the power. As with a lot of "detailing things" - less is more. BTW, change pads often as pads loaded with product can lead to your situation as well.

Maybe you are working it too long. It is tough to remove if worked until dry.

So a 6 inch line is too much. OK I'll try everyone's suggestions
I haven't been clogging up pads with any products for quite a while now thanks to the pro's here
Obviously though, the RD is tricky for me but worth using

I used my new bottle that I received yesterday on my car last night. Used a PC on speed 6 with a white 4" polishing pad. I worked the polish until it began to dust. I didn't have any problems with removal.
