Working in Polish - DetailCity.org

hey guys, quick question.
I'm using a PC with a white polish LC pad and Poorboys Professional polish. How long do i have to work the polish with the pad? Do i leave a have then use a bonet to rmove it or do I work it until it almos dissapears

Also on a different note. I've had the polish for a while and even though I shaked the bottle, the product still seemed a bit seperated, is the polish bad?

Thanks guys.

You can work the polish all you want its a chemical based..so it will not really dry like a non-chemical based...the more that you work the area the more correction that you will have...as for the separation I can't help you there but I don't think that its bad

That doesn't sound good.
I just checked a bottle that is at least a couple of years old. It is about 1/3 full and had very definite separation with some oil/solvent/carrier on top and it all seemed to remix when I shook it.
FWIW, I have had product that was frozen separate and not remix after that. I think I was told it had something to do with the emulsifiers being adversely affected by the freezing. Any chance your Pro Polish has been frozen?
(I first typed, "Any chance your PP has been frozen?", but I couldn't leave that.

Yes, you work it until it basically disappears or your pad becomes dry...

Like Charles said, if it doesn't remix upon shaking... then it's probably history ... freezing and leaving tops open are the most common reason polishes go bad

Last week I shook a bottle of PP I had and it seemed too watery. I discovered that there was a hardened layer on the bottom of the bottle. The shaking wouldn't seperate it. So I used a flat head and chiseled the layer. I was a bit on the weary side but it worked great. It was never frozen before. After shaking the polish worked wonders! Maybe that could be the issue?

I had that exact same thing happen to a bottle recently only difference was I could not break the stuff up on the bottom it seemed to harden like cement.

Thankfully Someone stands behind his products and took care of me.

yes, shaking polishes is a good thing

Hey guys, thanks for the reply.
My PP was not frozen but it's pretty old. One bottle didn't want to mix period the newer one did mix a bit but was still a bit watery even after shaking it quite a bit. I still used it and it seemd to work. I have a pewter 02 tahoe with paint in really good shape so the polish is hard to tell if working.

Again thanks
