| Here's a tip... don't lift the pad off the paint till you've turned the polisher off and the spinning pad has slowed down...

Wow! I found myself lifting my PCXP early with my first encounter with it last weekend, but thankfully I was using M105 and it was breaking down fast enough that nothing could possibly sling off when I lifted.

Mark | M105 breaking down?

But seriously, after 2-3 section passes, there was no polish left and a bit of dust.

I think his question is due to the fact that M105 is a non-diminishing abrasive and theoretically does not break down. My guess is that you meant the M105 had finished correcting the area, flashed and was starting to dust and was ready to remove.

Mark | Huh I thought M105/205 used non-diminishing abrasives.
Anyways, even with something like Ultimate Compound I noticed a bit of sling off when I would raise my rotary off a bit early. Nothing like that pic though, good demonstrative image to burn this technique in!

| That is correct grasshopper.
The abrassives in 105 do not break down, but the carriers that are present in the formula will eventually dry up, which is why nothing flew off of Y2KSVT's pad. | |

And back on topic...
Remember to allow the spinning of your pad to slow down before lifting the pad off the surface...  | |

| Thanks for clearing that up, haven't actually had the pleasure of using the 105/205 combo yet.

Sorry, I'm still learning the terminology. Instead of breaking down, I should have said disappeared, or turned to dust. It's not like the Wolf Gang Twins that you see Mike Phillips using in one of his videos where it still looks wet after 6 section passes.
Anyway, back on topic. Don't lift your pad before turning off the machine!
