Playing nice with a long throw.

What compounds and polishes have you found that did not work well with the extra heat generated from a long throw polisher?

I found Wolfgang TSR an m101 to be a bit finicky. Otherwise haven`t had problems.

Uh-oh, I don`t like the sound of that!

In what way(s) is it finicky and what`re some effective solutions (if any)? Here I`m just falling in love with the M101 and I do toy with the idea of buying a conventional long-throw (I understand that some consider the Cyclo a long-throw hence that "conventional"). Are there any issues running M101 with a Rupes Mini? Haven`t tried mine out yet...

I love M101 too! I have not tried 101 with the mini yet so I can`t help out there,. With my 15mm long throw, B&S uro-Tec Foam PADS on Cadillac paint it got gummy and not a very long work time. It really shocked me because 101 with a GG6 and flat foam B&S pads on the same paint was a dream to work with.
 
mikejames- Ah, OK, thanks for explaining about the gumminess. I`m OK with very short work-times so maybe that won`t bug me, and we`ll see whether my paints are problematic or not.

I plan to work with it more when it warms up here. I can tell you I could not get any correction out of it because it was gumming up so fast.

I know what you mean about gummi ! My experience was of the opposite.
Tried to use Rupes Keramik on an 8mm, it got gummi then started to roll around sort of :blink:

The only product that has been trouble with my Mini, would be Britemax compounds and polish.
Left behind more swirls, I could see exactly where I had polished by the tons of perfect little circles.
Tried working it longer, shorter, lighter, dif. pads. (It`s on my 8mm only shelf now)

Have you tried the Surbuf pads yet ?? Those I`m wondering about ??
One try sofar. With the power of the Mini, turning it on, the pad went POOF ! Alot of the hair material flew everywhere ! :yikes:
 
I had such awful results from the Surbufs that I completely wrote `em off. User-error or not, I simply don`t touch mine (I tried them via PC and Cyclo, shudder to think how much worse the experience might`ve been via Rupes).

>>>Very well could of been the pad you were using. I`ve had no issues using a Boss pads on a p/c or GG6 using the blue or yellow.

I actually liked Zephir and Keramik with Hydrotech pads on my PC...

I find that I get pilling from either too much product, or a previously waxed or sealed surface.
