View Full Version : #82, PC, & hazing
I have noticed that the paint (black) on my infinity is a lot softer than my ford product. I applied #82 on a W-9006 pad (finishing pad) and buffed it in on the 5 setting until the product is almost gone and have noticed under my fluorescent lights that I have a slight hazing. So what I am doing wrong?

You not using the right pad ! #82 should be used with a polishing pad or else the finishing pad will not remove the #82 completely and leave some build up which is proberly causing the haze.
The container says to use W9000 foam pad.

On the Meguiar`s site they have a guide for Product, Pad and Speed settings for the Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher.
They recommend the polishing pad (8006) for #82.
here is a link to the guide for future reference: http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2524
That`s interesting. My tan (82) container says to use foam pad, 9000.

Keep in mind that the X000 pads (not ending with 6) are intended for rotary buffers and the action of a rotary is somewhat different than that of a PC.

I always keep a "wet-edge" when using #82. Keep the pad and polishing surface "wet" with the product the entire time you polish. I believe #82 does not have diminishing abrasives so there is no need to polish until it is clear as it does not break down.
The 9006 or 8006 pad should not cause any hazing.
