Weird ....FG 400

[lawrenceSA]

Then in my opinion, either you were working it at too high a speed (FG 400 likes to be worked at speed 3 to 4 on a DA [not sure of how that equates to the Rupes?]), or were using too much product, or were not working the product long enough

Agreed.

If I run FG400 at speed 6 on my 3401 it becomes useless after two passes and becomes very hard to remove.

Weather : clean sky's 70f
80% humidity

Why don't you just rub it in......25f overnight here.

How much of your bottle of fg400 is left? Are you perhaps getting down to a small amount and the product consistency is changing? Have you used it since with no issues?

Was there a substantial amount of oxidation that could have been gumming up the compound?

Was the issue immediately evident, or only occured when you tried to wipe it off?

There is about 13 oz left

Sounds like too much product and too much heat... I have never had an issue like this with FG400, even when using it in the middle of the summer. I prime the pad and add 2 pea size drops for my working product per section. Clean the pad often and change to a new pad when needed. When a pad gets saturated, any product will become hard to work with. Also, as mentioned, be sure to fully work the product. It should be easy to wipe away (mostly) and should finish down very well.

I work it until there's almost nothing to wipe off which in turn makes it simple to wipe off the small amount of remaining residue. I do this will all diminishing abrasive products. I also use a medium speed with FG400.

I have worked with FG400 on speed 6 in Vegas heat with no issues at all. It could be reactreacting with whatever is already on the surface. Are you doing this after a regular wash and clay?

Agreed.

I use the 3401 on Speed 5-6 with FG400 without issues. I prime the pad with pad condition and 3-4 pea size drops on a 6 inch pad and go to work. I only find it hard to remove if I do not work the product long enough.

Is it better to do the poli seal after the polish?
Skip the opti seal and do two coats of wax?
Do the poli seal them do the polishing?

I've been reading about stickiness?
