Quick question.. the last Two times I put this on it’s been a bit of a ````` to buy far almost like a streak’s hard to explain some spots are dark other ones are late the lake line so I got a really really go over it and almost press hard to get it out I’m thinking maybe just too much product only noticed since using the boss 15
Thanks

What speed are you applying it on? Maybe with the long throw it’s curing during the application? Also wonder about too much product, since that makes life harder no matter the application method.

Also, not to be rude, but might want to proof read your posts when you’re using the phone- seems like the software does some weird word swaps sometimes and makes it hard to decipher what you’re trying to say.
 
Lol. No worries. I type like a 4th grader anyway. Haha. And this was voice to text. That’s ALWAYS interesting.

Applied at speed 4

phatkid77- LSPing by machine can be a little tricky, and IMO most people use *WAY* too much product most of the time anyhow. Trying to turn that "too much product" into "I`ll just work a larger area" is seldom a good solution. LSPing by machine is something I`d rather do, but overall I sidestep issues and have everything go better if I just do it by hand. And with regard to my mentioning "issues", I`ve never had it go sideways the way you have either.

Can hardly believe I`m saying this...but might want to dial the speed back to 3 or so too (I`ve never LSPed with my BOSS15).

And whatever preceded the 476S might be the problem, hard to say unless you`ve taken that off the table by using a Paint Prep product.

Oh, and ixnay on garbled/unproofed v2t type stuff. "Interesting" isn`t always what ya want to end up with ;) Heh heh, I`m always lecturing you on the same topics huh?!?

I think it’s the large throw machines. Even at lower speed the tend to cure the product to fast.

That makes sense. Might not be a big issue with a Liquid Wax, but with 476S...

And once again I`m paying attention to ya when it comes to how to run that machine :D If the long-throw is likely to flash product significantly faster (anyhow) then I`m gonna be erring on the side of caution should I ever use it with an AIO/etc. You know, one of those applications where I`d use the BOSS15 not for it`s corrective abilities but rather for it`s presumably lower vibration. Can`t do *every* panel contour with my Cyclos!
 
So sounds like the 476 should be used at a slower speed. Maybe smaller areas worked too.
Did the CRV but used blacklight. Didn’t seem to have the issue
Thanks guys

I’ve always used my Cyclo to apply LSP’s. No issues with 476s,(I used a whole tin of it that way). No issues with 915 and now FK1000p.
 
I would never get rid of my small throw machines. They work great on sensitive paint and are the absolute best for applying a flawless even finishing product.

And the smaller throw machines like the Porter Cable, are perfect for doing all the glass, as long as it does not need heavy duty correction and then Rotary Power would be better..

phatkid77- I *did* assume that you used slow arm motions and were very careful to overlap uniformly.

What did you use to dampen the pad?

Yeah, me too...whenever it`ll do the job. I only bought my first PC type machine because it wouldn`t do certain contours on the Jag.

Although I just do it by hand 99% of the time. Over and done faster than I can get out/put away a polisher since there are always lots of tight spots that need doing by hand with little swabs/etc. anyhow.

I just pop off one of my pads from the machine for the small spots. I really like those old Double Precision pads.
 
What pad do you use when applying the 476s?

The Blacklight is more made for be applyied with a polisher. And the damped pad on a polisher could also be a great choice to do as accumulator mentioned.
 
Perhaps I moved my arms
Too swiftly lol
Last time I used black polishing pad and this time white CCS. I did give it a squirt with CG pad cleaner to start

phatkid77- Eh, even working by machine, IME you can`t really speed up the LSPing or something can go haywire. Using the machine does make for different movements though, and all those opms...guess that`s a double-edged sword as you got some streaking. Same ol` same ol`...this stuff sometimes takes a while do do properly.

Is the CG Pad Cleaner something that`s 476S friendly or is it the sort of stuff that`d clean wax out of pads? IF the latter I`m confused why you`d use that to prime the pad for waxing. IME 476S is a bit finicky about what it`s used with; I`ve killed it by using the wrong QD and the wrong Rinseless Wash, and others have messed it up by topping with the wrong Beauty Wax. I`ve always primed with (distilled) water when using 746S.

Eh, I kinda think you shot yourself in the foot by doing the Collinite by machine instead of just doing it manually, but it might be a good learning experience.
