    How are you cleaning the pads out while you are working?

    I wash it then dry it by spinning it on the rotary. Then I reapply polish. I dont prime it after I do this since It's not dry anymore from washing

    You probably aren't cleaning your pads enough while working. Microfiber pads hold onto a lot of paint residue which can build up and scour the paint. Best method is using compressed air to blow out the pad, and fluff up the fibers, after each section.

    I use a brush to fluff up the fibers. I will be cleaning them better moving forward thanks for the tip. I'm gonna try a foam pad tomorrow for this car

    The challenge with the microfiber pads is they REALLY hang on to stuff. A brush will sort of fluff up the fibers again but it's not going to really clean out a ton spent product and paint residue.

    It's kind of crazy how well microfiber can finish out with something like m205 if the pad is kept super clean at all times. Blow clean after every section, grab a new pad every panel, you'll be amazed.

    Also, some paint systems just hate microfiber pads...

    Solved the problem..
    So I went out to a pretty well known detail supply shop in Irvine California to buy some supplies and asked for his advice. He asked which speed was I using the Flex on, I said 6. He told me that Might be the problem. Too much heat was being produced. He advised me to try it on 4. So I bought me a few Meguiars Foam finishing pads and stayed with the 205 on speed 4. Low and behold the problem was fixed. I was running the flex on 6 and it was generating too much heat. Damn you soft black paint.

    Good feedback, I always run my DA's at a speed that prevent stall but never full bollock for the sake of it...

    Do you have a final state picture ?����

    Glad to hear it, Boost! I'm a little late to this discussion but would've agreed with the foam pad finishing approach. FWIW, i have never used my Flex above speed 5 yet.
