If you have a stubborn polish, consider a damp towel or qd'er. Most polishes are quite easy to remove, but sometimes you need to beat them at their own game. If it gets real bad and big area ... rewash !

I started my dads truck today.. I'ts old like 88 F150 or something like that. Lot's of oxidation.
So I'm using the green edge pad with some megs #83 paint is looking pretty good BUT I cant for the life of me get this stuff off. If I do a few small spots let it dry and then try and wipe with MF. I have to press with all my mite to get this stuff off. And I'm no weakling. Really Half the hood liked to kill me.
Ok so I tried doing a little spot turning of pc and wiping imeaditly but it sill hard as hell to get off. WTF is going on.. Im I cursed.
So then I do a small spot 16x16 say and put QDer on it and that's seems to work better. But heaven forbid I let this stuff dry.....
I only had time to wax the hood before it got dark the wax came of sooooooooo easy NTX. But megs #83 is really pissing me off. I'm about ready to throw it in the trash.
What do you guys do?????
I'm definitely going to have to find another brand of polish that comes off easier.........Any suggestions>>??
Any one use #83 have this problem? Or is it just that my bottle of 83 that's cursed?
I for got my digital camera at home but did use a disposable so I'll post pics in a few days.
actually you are working it to long, work it till it breaks down completely, but wipe it off before it drys, its not a wax therefore does not need to dry

Never used #83. I use Optimum Polish and Optimum Compound, wipes off very easily even in South FL sun/heat.

Remember to mist your pad with a QD while using #83. Keeps it from clogging and helps on the work time.
Makes a huge difference.

I use Meguiar's Detaile Line's Last touch.
They also have it in a aerosol spray now.

I use just about everything in the Detailer Line. Price is awesome and most of the cleaners are dilutable.

I love the XMT. It has excellent cleaning and cutting and it is a breeze to remove. I used it in 90 degree heat in full sun on a black car that was too hot for me to even touch without burning my hand and the XMT worked like a champ and removed effortlessly with a MF. I love this stuff!
