For some reason I'm having a hard time removing sonax 04-06, it seems to be grabbing my microfiber and becoming a pain! I need to use eraser to remove it all. I have tried less product, smaller section etc. only other thing I can assume is that it's cold in the shop. Im currently using rupes 21 and a rupes white pads.

Having used EX for the first time a few weeks ago, the only thing I can image is that you're using too much product. How much are you using initially and after each section? Are you cleaning your pad after each section?

I loved using EX and can't wait to use it again.

Use very little and work it thoroughly

Isn't 4/6 for rotary use? There is one for DA, but I don't recall the number.

Sorry you did say EX. Try working the product longer.

Most likely, too much product. Use no more than 3 dime size drops.

That's what I was doing. I wonder if the cold temps have anything to do with it.

I used about 1/2 of that amount and experienced some stickiness upon removal, but it was manageable. It definitely wasn't the easiest stuff to remove, but it wasn't terrible...either.

How many section passes? Product was designed for DA and in my use (Rupes 21 + Yellow or White pad), needs to be worked. Product should be be very easy to remove.

5-6. The product dries out and starts to dust terribly if i went any longer than that. This was with a Rupes 21, speed 3.5 on a Rupes yellow pad. But I've only tried it on one vehicle, and it was on an Infiniti that had somewhat sticky paint.

I bet it has something to do with the paint then. My experience with EX has been great thus far, but I was also using it on Audi paint (with new Meg's foam cutting disc & Rupes 21).

So now I'm using it on a bmw m3 and it is performing great! Wiped off so smooth and easy!

Good to hear. How did it perform otherwise?

Great! Must have been the cold temperature because it did not act up like it did on the 370z.

What pads would you normally use it with? I was using a what rupes. I figured since its a medium cut polish I'll use the white bad because I didn't need the cut.
