Not as flakes.
I'm busy buffing off the NXT - and it all comes off apart from tiny little spots of wax, almost like a pattern of water drops on the hood.... Wish I'd taken a picture!
I had to pay special attention to these, buffing hard with a MF cloth - and they eventually shifted.
Car was cool - no sun.

I used to get alot of spotting and streaking with NXT. I started leaving it on while I cleaned the interior...about an hour. Came off soooo easy and clean....even on dark colors. Also.....you can put it on so thin...almost clear.
Here's a pic of how I apply it.
It's all over it...believe me.

It sounds like you just clogged up the NXT on your bonnet and redeposited it on the paint, kind of like what happens if you're polishing in the sun or using too much polish.

Hot looking hood!!
Sure about the 5.5 speed though? *wink*

Only 10 mins - I moved straight on to the NXT application with the PC on 3.5, and the blue pad.
I probably used too much NXT - although I've really cut back since using it with the PC.
Agree with Justin, you only need the thinnest of layers.
Just odd how I got spots where it stuck....
Maybe I did overload the MF bonnet - any tips - or do I just need to keep swapping it out when it gets loaded with wax?

Ahh...let me take a guess...detailing clients cars when they want just a wash and wax, it seems that the effect that you desribed above consistently occurs. Why? Because the surface was NOT claybarred. You never mentioned if you claybarred your paint, so this could be the suspect. If you did claybar, my theory is wrong. Tell me if I'm right?
So - after a 2nd application of the SB polish and then NXT, I see no scratches, even under the fluro in my garage! :spot
Here's the standard outside shot of after the 2nd application:
And here's a shot of the reflection of my fluro tube in the garage:
Now even when it looked great outdoors after the first SB polish, I could see a few scratches under the fluro tube - now I see none! :2thumbs:
I'm battling a little with the white powder it leaves - need to pay more attention to the edges and gaps between panels etc - white powder on a black car looks bad.
I did an extra detail with speed detailer to mop up the powder, and that worked a treat - I just need to be more thorough!
And for the record, the first application of SB had gone through a few wash cycles without any of the old scratches coming back - so it's all good so far!
