Once I started using Menzerna and 3D abrasives I haven't run into this issue. I remember the first Subaru I did, M205 on a soft polishing pad left a lot of da haze. I switched to Menzerna PF2500 and it removed all the swirl marks, and finished out perfectly. 3D ONE is another gem of a polish, but I'm suspect of it's finishing on soft paints. In that situation I switch to 3D ACA520 Finishing Polish.

I’m not a huge fan of 3D or menzerna. Menzerna I used for years, too oily which hides a lot. I’ve had a lot of ceramic coated vehicles from years ago I polished with menzerna come back with issues, plus if you spray a real strong panel prep agent like feynlab panel prep, it pulls all the DA haze back out. I primarily use water based polishes for this reason and since have had zero issues with coated cars and corrections. This issue I’m facing in this video is primarily due to heat and humidity. I rarely deal with it otherwise except on certain paint systems. I don’t trust 3D either, all their products were at one point chalked full of fillers and I don’t believe they’ve actually changed.

@@WickedAutoDetailing - I stay Away from coatings because I hate applying them. So I haven't had that experience. I do get better performance with Optimum Car Wax, and Opti-Seal when using Hyper Polish as a finisher. In checking the family and friends vehicles that I polished with Menzerna or 3D I have noticed no return of the defects I removed. My best friends mom has a super soft black Equinox that I use PF2500 pretty up before sealing. I always check that car whenever I see it for returned defects. They use a touchless wash, and in the years I've been detailing that car, I have never seen them return. I've heard people say the same about Meguiar's in regards to "fillers" and oils, and again never had an issue with any of that. But, I did just polish my car with Menzerna SF4000, did the panel wipe, and applied CarPro Gliss. If it fails prematurely, I'll have something to consider. Also, I've recently found M110 to out cut every other compound in the arsenal. It would be nice to switch back to Meguiar's. I started off with them in 1996, and have made a lot of money, shiny cars, and memories with them.

this happened to me with menzerna 400. very quickly sticks to paint. and it was the first time I used a DA machine. brand new. just my luck. I managed to resolve this two ways. one is fcking up the polish. polishing waaay longer Dustin it off, this was super easy to remove.. but. the pad and the paint suffer a lot. so no.. and then I used 3in1 by menzerna. I love that product. it's a quick wax. don't know if had fillers but man it takes all residue haze holograms off.. never used perfect finish or super finish or any of that. just polish by Meguiar's. and it's very pretty shine. also love the smell of MG. man.. so addictive. what would you recommend me buying? medium cut? and finish? 2400?. also I always used whol. is microfiber better for DA?

Hi, my name's Ellie. I just bought a 2010 Nissan Juke; the paint is just kinda weathered but it's not like those old cars where the clear coat is totally gone. Low shine on the hood and the roof of the car but the rest of the car is shinier. I should add that I live in FLORIDA and even when it's overcast, I run into this problem where I can't rub off the compound. I've already bought a buttload of products (Chemical Guys Quick Synthetic Detailer, Meguiars clay bar, Meguiars Ultimate Compound, Nu Finish polish, Meguiar's Gold Class Caranuba Wax, Jay Leno's Radiant Ceramic coating, and microfiber towels and some foam applicators. Can I solve this issue of compounding sticky/soft paint with any combination of these products? I haven't attempted anything except wiping the compound off with a microfiber towel and that obviously didn't work.... I'm open to buying something else if it's going to make a big difference.

I would have to disagree, you can use a microfiber pad on soft paint, I've done it with great success on many black cars. A wool pad is far more aggressive than microfiber and perfect finish is full of oils that generally just fill stuff in until you spray a powerful panel prep agent over it. That's why you are achieving those results with one step, just filling in as opposed to correcting.

@@scoupemaster I install self healing coatings and use some of the strongest solvents in prep sprays and coatings, perfect finish will eventually out gas and cause issues with coating. I use only water based polishes to avoid these issues and achieve true correction results. I used to use sonax perfect finish, it does leave a great finish but then goes back to haze when sprayed down or coated over or even left alone long enough to out gas on its own regardless of how well you finish down the product. That is my experience. You are entitled to your opinion though, I am not looking to argue who knows more, I have found much of what some of product companies and youtube stars have said to be untrue or not work in every single situation. The reason for the issue I am experiencing in this video is mainly due to the temperature and humidity I am in. If I had used a compound on a foam pad maybe I would have had less sticking to the paint but I also would not have achieve the same results either, I've corrected metallic black jaguar paint on more than one occasion and it does not behave like this with a microfiber even at low speed without heating the paint up much. I appreciate your feedback though. Thank you for watching.

More than likely no. I've tried panel preps, really strong waterless washes, body shop grade wax and grease remover and nothing. It can actually make it worse. Best bet is use a product that is normally VERY easy to wipe off on a good day, what I mean is something that doesn't leave an "oily" film behind. HD Cut works and so does 3D One but with HD Cut, work in small sections, and with 3D One, use LESS product than what you normally would. You want to leave very little left on surface after your correcting session, otherwise there'll be a very faint haze that will be a nightmare to remove. Under normal conditions, 3D One can be awesome, but with soft black paint, less is much much better. As far as POLISHING products, HD Polish has been the best I've used but I'm not sure they make it anymore. Sonax Perfect Finish is also great but don't let it sit for long.

So to resolve this issue, just polish it with a fine polisher?

I'm gonna vent because I need to vent. I ran into this problem today, not the first time since I work at this dealership. It mostly happens because of the compound they carry, I carried my own compound from home and it didn't do it. To combat the problem I ended up just using corse foam for my compounds. They are so cheap, I had only one corse pad for 4 months I been there and now it's done. Today I needed a pad and ended up having to use wool and the compound would not come out. The main detailer doesn't care because he compounds, then waxes over the compound, let it dry then use a rotary to remove the dried up wax. You should see the size of the rotary, so I say ok since you not gonna buy the tools I want, at least show me the method. Says just do it.... do you bring your own tools to work or just quit the job? I swear I was gonna walk off the job then and there, luckily the buzzer went off for tje end of the day because I have a mortgage to pay.
