First time using us speed - dust
Detailed my wife's car today using hd speed and poxy. I was surprised by the amount of dust using speed. I only had two dots on my pad, so I don't think I overapplied. It was hot and humid today, which might be to blame. If the dust happens again, I will probably not use the product again.I also this no I needed more cut than what speed was capable of delivering, but as an aio, I cannot expect a great deal of cut.
Post was a joy to work with. I will probably skip my Windows next time as they have a very light haze. Hoping it will buff out later.

Not sure what caused your dusting with Speed. I have never experienced any dusting while using it.
As for the second part of your post, I'm not understanding what you mean.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Did you use brand new pads? If they were used pads perhaps the dust you saw was from old residue from other abrasives. You could try to mist a couple light sprays of pad conditioner before you apply the product.

I think the pad was new. Maybe next time I will try to use some as or pad conditioner before starting.

Did you only use one pad to the whole car? If so that is your problem. Even if you use small amounts of polish it gets saturated. And the residue dries in the pad too that causes dusting if useing to few pads. Then you can get the pad to wear down fast also.

I think it happened throughtout. My guess is it didn't like the hot temps and humidity (90 deg +) even though I worked in the shade. I was using the lake country cc s pads, which I believe are less prone to saturation.

But how many pads did you use for the whole car?

I live in Tampa and use Speed during our HOT HUMID summer and have never experienced Speed dusting. Also, you can adjust the cut of Speed and all AIO"s or polisjes by changing the pad to a more aggressive pad. I prefer B & S Orange pads with Speed, great correction, excellent finish.

If you only used 1-3 pads then you have your answer. It's cause not to swap pads regualary. Sure some pads are better to not get saturated to fast. But they still are going to be that. It's much of different parameters that is the mix from when it's starts to dust. A sure thing when it's time for swap pads is when you see the dusting begins. But I like to have be done that sooner. Depending on how the pad is in part of dirty. I like to have as a clean pad as possible to have it working at it's best. When the air compressor and the brush don't get the pad clean enough I swap it. Sometimes you can do a panel or two but not more than that. Then you save your pads to overheat and wear down faster when not swap them out regualary.
