No matter what pad/backing plate combo is use, it slings everywhere. Now I know its not my technique because this only happens with M105. Any ideas? Its a PITA to clean up especially if it dries before I get a chance to wipe it.
I'm going to have to go with you're applying too much product to the pad, or lifting the pad without realizing it. There really isn't a reason that one product would sling more than another.
Fact: A rotary polisher will tend to sling more than its dual action counterpart.
Prepping the car is important. Papering and masking a car as if it were being ready for painting saves allot of cleanup time.
A rotary will always sling product especially at the higher speeds where compounding takes place. Using the correct amount of product on the pad will also help minimize this affect and keep product usage to a minimum. Proper speed is also important.
Meguiar's M105 has a "relatively" short working time. If your trying to increase it's working time the natural solution is to add additional product which will lead to slinging. Gage your progress before adding more product as you might have achieved your goal.
Also, rather than adding more product, mist the area you already did and hit it again. Keep your pad on the vehicle when turning on or turning off the machine.
M105 certainly does sling more than most, but you need to do smaller areas and use less product. It seems like more work but it cuts so fast and finishes out so well, it is worth it.
