HD Dress Problem--Ideas??

[pwaug]

This past weekend did a complete detail of my wife`s black Golf. As part of the prep process cleaned all the plastic trim with 3D Orange Degreaser. Tim was taped during the polishing (Prima Amigo) and waxing (DK1000p) and received an IPA wipe down prior to applying the HD Dress to all the plastic trim--both pebble grain and smooth plastic.

Car sat for 48 hours before it was used yesterday when we went to the movies. Came out of the theater and of course it had rained since I just detailed the car, but most disturbing was that the HD Dress had ran off all the trim and created oily like runs all over the paint anywhere that was just below the trim.

I`ve been using Dress for nearly a year and never had this problem.

Any ideas as to what could have caused this????

Maybe it wasn`t buffed out as much as it needed to be? something similar has happened to me, i noticed runny spots on the trim itself and i think i might have applied it too thick without buffing enough out.

Thanks for the info. UPS has a bottle waiting for me and I`ll be trying it out. :dance1

This may have been the issue now that you mention it. In the past I`ve always applied trim dressing with just the corner of a MF towel so it naturally got buffed in. This time I used a small trim sponge and never thought to buff off the excess. Thanks!!!

You got it then, that is my method of application and I always follow up with a towel. The applicator sponges leave a lot of product sitting on the surface and I used to get carried away then spray too much in the sponge,ending with a layer that was too thick.

pwaug - Just wanted to see if you were able to figure this one out? Sounds like there could of been too much applied and/or not buffed in causing it to cause run off?
