Hazing while stopping PC on paint

Hi everyone. I'm having a little issue and was wondering if the experts could help me.



I've run into a problem twice now, on 2 flat black cars, that I'm having issues resolving. While using the 105/205 twins, when I'm done with a section and turn the machine off to wipe it down, there is an obvious haze where the pad was sitting when the machine was turned off. I tried 50/50 IPA mix and this will remove some, but not all, of that stubborn haze. The only thing that completely removed it for me was TOL Prep Wash. I know there has to be a way to avoid that haziness without resorting to the Prep Wash each time. I'm also guessing that the haze has been present on other colors before, it's just never been as obvious as on the flat black.



For the record, I usually reduce pressure at the end of the buffing cycle and just use the weight of the machine when I turn it off, but I've also read to not reduce pressure at the end when doing the KBM. Both ways have left that haze for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:think:
 
How much product are you using?



Also, when you turn off the machine, you don't have to let it sit in one spot. If you slide it while it spins down, the residual layer becomes thinner.

Not much product, just a primed pad and 3 or 4 dabs of polish. And I don't recall trying that sliding technique, but it makes enough sense that I feel dumb for not thinking of it!
