I also find that the paint is grippy if the customer has been using the zymoil cleaner wax--this stuff will gum up your pad like mad! |
Dead on. I've done several jags that seemed to stick. I've also had a lot of Range Rover's and Porches do t his (I really don't like Porche paint for this reason).
Contanimation is certainly not the problem in my experience, as I always clay (I've even tried not claying a panel or two to see if it would make a difference at all). And I've tried QDing before hand, but to no avail. For a while I even wondered if it was how I was washing my pads - nope.
I really think it simply has to do with the clear coat formulation, as the last thing manufacturers consider with their paint is "correctability;" on the other hand, I have never ever had aftermarket paint grip, as they develop this stuff to be sanded and buffed (in a few cases I've beed buffing a "sticky" car and then all of a sudden have things go glassy slick on a panel or two, and with my trusty ETG I leaned it was because these panels were repainted). But because different plants within the same company use different paint products (very little consistency here), we're not able to pin-point particular vehicles that have this problem.
