Hi polishing fans,
I'm busy polishing my RV 8 prior to final assembly. I keep running into the problem of the polish smearing. I will be polishing along (compounding phase) and then I get this smear/haze that starts to spread around. It is almost like some impurity or contamination gets picked up and then get smeared around the finish as it goes. I then try to take it off with mineral spirits, but it doesn't really come off. I can polish over it and then get it off.
I have tried a bunch of experiments, but haven't really figured out what causes this. It never happens with the cyclo. I read through all the posts under the search "Nuvite" and no one else even mentions the issue.
Do you suppose that I could be running the buffer at too high a speed and causing some sort of glaze? That was going to be my next experiemnt.
Anyone else seen this and/or have a suggestion of what to do?
Regards,
Michael Wynn
