M105 drying up

[tdonnelly0987]

I am using a G110V2 with an orange LC pad. I tried spreading the polish on setting 1,2 and 5. Before I can spread it over an 18X18 area the polish dries up and turns into a dust. What is going on?

Re: M105 drying up

Are you working in doors? On a cool surface? Is it extremely humid or hot outside? Is it hot in your garage? Have you clayed the surface yet?

All these factors could play into the product drying up sooner than faster.

Try work in the compound in a smaller space instead of concentrating on a larger space. If it dries up, try priming the pad first with a little bit of product or quik detailer, M34, or final touch. Also, you could spray all three of those products on the dried product to revive the dried product.

Hope this helps.

Yes I am working outdoors. The temperature
is 65 degrees with no humidity. I am priming
the pads with water before use.

ahhh...I think I know the problem...You can't use water to prime the pad...it has the inverse affect and makes the pad load up a lot faster than normally...try using M34, or Quik Detailer

Ok thanks, I have some quik detailer laying around. I will try that. Here is a link to the article that I read on pad prepping...

Re: M105 drying up

great article, but specifically for all Meguiar's compounds and polishes we do not recommend water as a primer.

Hey Andrew. Do you mean that the dried product can be used again after spraying on those products or are they just used to ease the removal of the product? What if the dried product still wouldn't budge even after applying quik detailer, m34 or final touch?
