    Whenever I polish, i get tons of dust?

    I haven't picked up a polisher for close to a year now.
    Today i was using my Rupes 15 with a Green Buff and shine pad, using Sonax PF. But i kept getting dust all over the place.

    It has been a while since i polished... I can't remember if i experience dusting back then when i polished. Or am i just missing something here. Like wrong technique / gesture or whatever....

    So how do i keep dusting to the minimal?

    Sounds like you may be using too much product. Also keep in mind certain products tend to dust a lot.

    I just primed the pad and after that it is just 3 drops each panel.

    PS: I was NOT working under the shade... Back in the PAST, i always polished in my garage....
    Maybe that is what is causing so much dust?

    That could very well be the culprit

    ?
    Yep, this is most likely the cause then.

    How often are you cleaning the pad or changing pads. The dusting can also be that you are overworking the polish.

    This. I just used perfect finish in the sun with blue B&S pads yesterday and had my best experience because I cleaned the pads after each section pass and rotated pads after each section pass as well.

    I'm surprised that you didn't run into an issue--usually the sun and/or the hot panels cause the polish to dry prematurely. This is usually when it will spit out dust if the other causes of dust are checked off.

    I figured since he said he doesn't remember this happening before and the only thing that has changed is the environment, then working in direct sunlight or on hot panels would probably be the main cause.

    I am in Houston Texas, so temp might be much different than NY.

    I guess I will try again some other time in the garage and see what happens.
    I cleaned the pad after every section. I even spray some ONR on the pad. Maybe it is the sun that is drying the polish out

    I did a correction last weekend using Sonax 5/4 and 3/6 and didn't get any dusting. I did brush my pad clean after each panel though.
