This is a bunch of whoo haaa I follow all the gods and listen to the tapes read a bunch of magazines watch the meguiars how to video and still. I am talking about using the Rotary. I decided to use it today on parts of my car for practice, and end up getting myself upset because each time I do it, it justs keeps on gumming up on me. I used the Maroon pad and some DACP on my rear spoiler of my grand prix and my trunck. I primed my pad and applied a small bead of product. With my machiene set at about 1400 rpm. I place my machiene on the spoiler and turn it on lift the machiene ever so slightly to pick up the product and work it in. In about 15 seconds the product gums up and then sticks on the panel and the only way I can get it off is by wiping it off. I understand that I have to work the DACP until it starts to disappear but that wasn't the case it did that too fast. To the point that it couldn't work it in because the product gummed up as I said before and if I worked it in anymore that it would cause more problems. WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone is in the Michigan area and is willing to take their time out of their day to teach me I will be very greatful.

Buy a PC, get rid of the rotary. PC's are idiot proof, I know from experience, turned out incredible first time I used it.
 
Yeah DACP can be user unfriendly. I think the LC pads are better too. I would also suggest experimenting with Menzerna, a real rotary friendly line of polishes.
 
DACP does that on some paints ...
I have found that the paint needs to be free of wax, tar and other types of contamination for the DACP to work without gumming. I have switched to Poorboys SSR 2 and 2.5 for most work requiring DACP. It might just be me but it is a tough one to use on the rotary.
 
i went thru this earlier this year and i was gettin pissed . just fill a squirt bottle of water and give it a quick mist and it will clear the gumming up . i squirt the gummed up area and rub the pad over it to break it up with the buffer off then proceed with the job .. let us know how it went
 
Screemin-

I'm willing to help you out...I'm must not live more than 20 minutes from you. I'm not a rotary expert but I have done about 10 cars with it (about 20-30 hours trigger time) and maybe I can help you out...heck maybe you'll teach me something. I have a bunch of other products besides DACP we can try too. Drop me a PM...
