  • Removal of Residue

    Last week, I have a chance to try DA with Ultimate Compound on one panel. The result was awesome! 3 to 4 passes and it removed light scratches & swirls, easily - no sweats.

    But what most challenging is to remove the Ultimate Compound after the DA, it is kind of gum-up and stick onto the paintwork. I followed the instruction using Microfiber/Terry cloth to wipe off, but, not very effective. I struggled a little and there are still a lot of residue on the paintwork under my SureFire torch. I also spray some QD but no avail.

    In the end, I used Paint Cleaner to remove. I wonder if there is any effective method to remove the Ultimate Compound residue more effectively or is there any tricks that I may not aware of?

    Thanks.

    PS: I tried to do a search, but there is no similar thread. If you are aware of the ant thread that sound like this, please drop me the link. Thanks.

        I also tried my recently aquired DA this weekend. I experienced something similar to the OP where I thought the product was too hard too remove (M105). Are these kind of products suppossed to be still wet when removed?

        I am not sure it that is the way it is, something wrong in the process (likely), or if I was just spoiled by NXT2.0 (so easy to remove)

        I was thinking I worked it too long, or used too little prodcut but I'll let the more experienced guys chime in with some comments/answers.

          Anytime you run into a problem working with a product and in this case wiping off a product, try shrinking your work area down a little and be sure not to buff to a dry buff, there should always be a wet film on the surface as you're working the product.


          As for wipe-off, try any quick detailer or a 50/50 mix of Isopropyl Alcohol to water.

            Thanks All for the advice. I'll try again this weekend and see how it goes.
