Ive used 106 on soft Bentley paint without any issues. Maybe try using a different pad?

Greg Nichols and I used 106 on a Bentley, too. And it did work very well, just not as well as the UF did. But there have been a few cars (mostly Hondas) where I just couldn't get 106 to behave. It was acting similar to how SIP does when it's not playing nice. It doesn't happen often, thankfully.

Once again I have to agree with you, my mom has an Accord and those two don't like to play nice with the cc. UF to the rescue.

Did you finish with 106ff? Have you seen the car 2 or 3 months later?

Todd, I make sure my imperfections are removed before going to my finishing polish. You should know that by now.

I too prefer UF to 106FF for its versatility. I used it to polish out a Cadillac STS just yesterday. I made one pass at 600 RPMs, 4 passes at 2100 RPMs, 2 passes at 1400 RPMs, and 2 passes at 900 RPMs while in the sun and it still played ball like a champ removing some significant marring and burnishing the finish.

Uf is a great finishing polish, but it too will "fill" if not checked with a good wipe down. SuperBee and I found that you need 2 IPA 91% wipe downs to really know.
