I’d be shocked if that’s what causes this issue..

Have you ever mixed UP with M205? I wonder if it’s possible without degrading it’s performance.

I haven't tried that yet.

Maybe I’ll test it out someday.. If it could at least make my M205 smell like UP I’d be happy and would even continue buying UP just for that purpose. Lol.

I hope I shook my bottle well. Either way,

I did use the mf finishing pad. Switched to a foam pad... same issue.

I wasn’t happy. Never mind the car being black to work with.

On topic though; I never experienced that wipe off problem with UP, but I also still have a quart of m205 and about 10oz of UP... they both scour my paint

UP is pretty oily though.. and annoying wipe off in general.

I've had numerous issues finishing with M205.

I often work on softer stickier pants and over the years I've had many disappointing experiences with M205

I've personally found that when M205 becomes difficult to work with, HD Polish+, Jescar finishing polish, or Scholl Concept S30+ will work incredibly

M205 is fantastic polish on normal and harder paints and guys like Larry Kosilla & Kevin Brown (who only finish with M205) are far more skilled at paint correction than I'll ever be. They're willing to spend a ton of additional time manipulating their methods, tweaking and adjusting the amount of polish used to cope with the rapid removal of spent paint residue, and they'll even dilute M205 with water to get it to finish down perfectly on virtually any paint.

Personally, I'm of the mindset that "If at first you don't succeed with M205...try using a better polish"

I fudged up the polishing on my other car today. I was getting annoyed at the UP but didn’t have to to get the 205. I was also a bit rushed today so it looks patchy. I didn’t realize it until after I waxed.

Should I wait a period of time to repolish?

Any other suggestions??
