I polished my Jerez Black M3 over the weekend using a G110 with Menz IP on an orange LC pad followed by FP on a gray pad. The results are excellent but I did have some questions. This was my first time using a machine polisher.



The IP seemed dry out quickly and dust a lot. It seemed to take much less time than on the videos I've seen. I thought maybe I was using too little polish but more didn't seem to help at all. It still worked well but is it normal to dry out very quickly? I'm talking maybe two or three passes with the DA before the IP was dry.



The FP on the gray pad seemed to work much more like the videos I've watched.



Both pads were 5.5" CCS pads.



Thanks!
 
If you want to increase the work time spritz a little distilled water on the pad before or touring the polishing stage s
 
It isn't so much that I want to increase the working time. I'm concerned that it wasn't working correctly and looking for opinions on IP.

Finished result. It wasn't bad to start with but I'd say 90% of the imperfections are gone. That is fine for me as this is my DD. Of course, it is already dirty again now :rolleyes:
 
I did notice too that it dries out quickly on the pads. I use only 2 peas size and after the polish was broken down. My pad was soo dried up. But I didn't bother to QD, I just add more product and moved on to the next section.
 
I was using a lot more than a pee size drop! I used a ring around the outside of the pad for probably a 2' X 2' surface.



Too much polish?
