Question about Swirl Free Polish & DACP

Hello All,



Ok, after claying a '68 mustang convertible, the finish felt VERY smooth but not slippery. Normal, in other words...



After applying DACP, removing, applying SFP, and removing, the finish was noticeably "slightly" gritty. I use microfiber buffing towels to remove the dry polish residue.



I am sure about this because I made a mental note right after I clayed the car and felt it. After SFP, the car was noticeably deeper, don't get me wrong, but it didn't feel as smooth as after the clay process.



I wanted to follow up with VM and CMW but my cousin had to go. So I just followed with QS as a last ditch attempt to remove the grittyness.



Any ideas?



I did my 2000 midnight blue Expedition yesterday using Clay, DACP, SFP, VM, CMW combo and it wasn't like this.



Any ideas? Is the DACP/SFP residue getting left behind by the microfiber? It looks completely clear though. :confused:



Thanks in advance.

Very hard to say without us being there. What I always notice after claying is the paint feels incredibly smooth but I know what I'm feeling is the residue left from the QD lubricant. Even a shampoo mix will leave a residue.



If you wiped down the car with a QD after polishing, it should feel just as smooth as post claying. You may also want to wash the car after a lot of polishing as spatter and dust get all over everything. I think its polishing dust you were feeling. If you were not wearing gloves it was probably all over your hands too.
