Default M95 turning into cement and breaking down in 1pass

Hey!

I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong... M95 on purple foamed wool pad. I've tried everything but it keeps immediately turning into cement:
- small areas
- create an angle on the foamed wool pad
- use the full surface of the foamed wool pad
- apply some M95 directly on the pad
- apply some M95 directly on the paint
- full speed on my flex
- speed 4 on my flex

Without success... The M95 dries instantly and breaks down in 1 pass.

You sure you're talking #95, and not #105?

Sounds like you are not using enough product. With a wool pad pick it off of the vehicle.

How much product should I use by 2x2 area? With the amount of product I'm currently using, my bottle will barely last 3 or 4 cars.

Ok! Because I'm really confused now. At first I thought M95 did a great job, because the lubricant inside the SIP and Nano Polish filled the swirls caused by the dried M95 (ie cement). After applying the sealant, OMG! I could see a bunch of mini swirls.

If you want the finish perfect you should go over it with sip, then final polish with either 106ff, 85rd or ultrafina.

That's what I did, and SIP / 106FF didn't take care of the remaining swirls caused by the "cement". I think my clear coat is really really hard.

Looking at your picture, I've used less than 50% of this amount of M95. It may explain why it broke down too quickly and left swirls.
