Clearcut Dust
I’m trying Carpro clearcut for the first time. Trying to bring back to life a 2005 Xterra that has some oxidation on horizontal surfaces and just lots of swirls on vertical panels. The oxidized areas of the hood took a few iterations of the 2-3 light passes then 2-3 pressure passes to finish. Using orange Lake Country, swapping to new clean pad after hood, and after one side.
my question is about the dust. Carpro suggests it’s non-dust, but holy hell, I have loads of dust. So much dust that I will need to wash down with reset before moving to the Essence extreme phase.
should I be seeing loads of dust, or am I doing something wrong with the product? I’ve used Essence a few times and very little to no dust.
Should also note the xterra was washed, clayed, and ironx before starting with clearcut.

Re: Clearcut Dust
Dusting is normal with it from my experience. Especially if it is over worked. How many section passes are you doing?
I am also surprised you are getting dusting from Essence.

Re: Clearcut Dust
I never had much dust with Clearcut, are you priming the pad? How much are you applying to pad?

OP did say little to no dust with Essence.

I’m doing 2-3 passes with little to no pressure, the. 2-3 with increasing pressure until clear.

I’m priming the pad, and then using 3 or 4 pea size drops per 2x2 section.

Re: Clearcut Dust
With a recent order here, I received a free bottle of pad conditioner. I tried using it today on the pad before priming it. Maybe that’s causing it to dust?

I am just surprised to hear any dusting with it. I have not had that happen when I used it.

Try 2 passes on low speed with no pressure followed by 2 passes on a higher speed and more pressure just as the label states. I don't prime the pad with Clearcut so you could try that as well.

Re: Clearcut Dust
He said that he is removing visible oxidation. You are removing a lot of dead clearcoat. It would be normal for your pads to load up quickly and cause dusting.
