White Haze on paint after #80 application

[MI DOG]

Any of you guys who have problem like me?I found out after I applied #80 with RO polisher there is a white haze after removing the residue from polishing. I removed it after the #80 looked like film (after the abrasive has been diminished). Is that the right procedure? I've tried to remove those haze by spraying QD and wipe it with MF cloth. but its still very difficult to remove.

What kind of pad did you use?

8006 pad. is it the right pad?

What are you working on?

Did you do a test spot? Or is this your test spot?

The common cause for hazing is,

• Buffed to a dry buff
• Buffed with too aggressive of a pad
• Buffed at too high of a speed and to a dry buff or almost a dry buff
• Your paint is soft and very scratch sensitive

It would have been my choice.
I think Mayur might have been thinking the haze was micro marring from too abrasive a pad. It has been mentioned that a W-7006 cutting pad is not a good thing to use with the G-100/PC.
I don't think you would have been able to remove the haze with a QD if it had been marring from the pad.
While I have never had this happen, I have used #80 quite a bit and I think I probably work it longer than you did. I don't really have a film left on the paint when I think I am finished. The #80 is almost gone. It's kind of hard to describe and it's something you kind of learn by doing.
Try working the #80 in one small area until it has almost disappeared to see if it works better. If it does, do the rest of the vehicle the same way.

Since he is able to remove the haze which he also described as a film with a QD, is it likely to be actual damage from dry buffing?. I wouldn't think he could wipe that off with the QD.

Are you able to remove the haze by wiping with QD and a microfiber?

If the haze is a film of product, if not the haze is micro-marring in the paint.

• How large of a section are you working at one time?
• Are you wiping the product off immediately after working it with the polisher?

Re: White Haze on paint after #80 application

Im using 8006 pad. its the common pad that used with #80 right? Im working in 50x50cm it is too big?maybe im still dont get when i must buff the #80.

As Mike said, i assumed the haze is because

• Buffed to a dry buff
• Buffed at too high of a speed and to a dry buff or almost a dry buff

I can remove the haze with QDbut it takes a lot off time and energy. at that time i use little bit #80 with hand pad and rubbed it onto the haze than quickly i wipe off with MF and QD. But it really long process..

Is my working area too big? Or the polish has dried before i buff?

Tommorow i will take some picture of the haze and i will try to remove it.
