I live in Phoenix and even though after washing and claying the car it was 9 p.m. when starting the correction system, it was near 100 degrees, so the car was not cool to the touch, but not hot either. I started with a 2 x 2 area on the front center of the hood.
I had some trouble in that the correction compound was very hard to remove, in fact I needed to use the clay to finally remove it. The Microfiber towel would only remove very little, I could remove it with my finger. I have read about hazing, but not sure if that is what I was dealing with.
The correction compound seemed to turn white immediately, so I wondering if the panel was too warm, causing it to dry too fast.
I followed the directions on the fold-out that came with, and started with 5 dots of compound in the shape of and 'X' on the pad. After viewing additional videos today, I did not re-apply compound after running the DA for just a few rotations. But the pad was a solid pink, so I think the pad was primed ok. I did clean the pad with a brush and added more compound in the shape of a cross, but got the same result. Maybe there was too much product after I re-applied?
One more thing the wrench that came with the DA does not fit the nut, so it is hard to tighten the backing plate. The wrench is too small. I think I have the backing plate snug though.
Thanks
John
