When I was applying the final compound (DP sealant) I used a 5.5" Inch Red Soft Wax pad. The pad seemed to soak up the sealant, to where it was hardly leaving a layer of wax behind.
It sounds like you're using too much sealant?
There's a technique called "Kissing the finish" it should be explained here,
And there's another technique listed in the above article for applying a wax or paint sealant by machine.
Also, a quality wax or paint sealant is going to be difficult to wash out of any pad because a quality wax and paint sealant should NOT be water soluble and many new waxes and sealants are also detergent resistant. If you think about it... if a wax or sealant washed out of your pad easily, that means they would wear off you car's paint easily.
This is a long article, it's probably one of the most in-depth articles I've ever written on how to use a DA Polisher and to date I've found no other article or even video that shares as much information on how to use a DA Polisher to remove swirls, polish paint, apply a wax or paint sealant and even remove a wax or paint sealant by machine.
But... you can't scan it... it needs to be read...
