    Exclamation HELP PLEASE! Film all over after polishing

    Hello, I have a customer car that is 13 years old and the paint is not in good shape with clear coat and paint issues on parts of the car like bubbling and crows feet.

    TBH I probably should have passed on the job but he wanted an AIO on the panels that were not peeling yet.

    I noticed when I brought it on in the sun to inspect that it looked like I missed a lot of polish to wipe off but the more I wiped the harder it became to remove what look liked dried wax.

    It was random but its all over the place and its like instead of it wiping off it just moves it around.

    Full wash with iron and clay were done.

    I tried to get it in a photo.

    ANY help with be unbelievably appreciated.

    Ty!!!!!!

    Did you use a panel wipe?

    Yes it just either does one of two things.
    1. Nothing
    2. Maybe smudge it around.

    It’s like the polish just sticks to the paint.

    It’s a Subaru and from what I’ve been reading it’s sticky paint.

    I would try using less product and work it longer.

    What pad and machine?

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
