Working in Polish - 10-21-2008, 09:51 PM

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.

R.

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?

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.

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

For what reason this happens I don't have a clue..but mine did the same thing...no amount of shaking helped...so I got out a long screw driver, opened up the top and was able to break up the hard stuff on the bottom..it breaks up very fast and into small chunks....put the top back on and shook it like I was in a paint shaker...The chunks broke apart and became a solid form again.....just like the day I got it....just thought I would add that in

I've tried that ... too many variables ... heat ,cold , leaving top open too long etc .. but Beemer's suggestion is the best and has worked for me on old open bottles

Boy this is a old thread revived.

I have some polish that is 5 years old that is ok but I keep my garage warm in the winter.

Every few months even though I'm not going to use them I will shake my polish bottles just to keep them mixed.

I know Steve says PP is pad dependant but it seems to be very mild PP on a white pad has very little bite.

Just like BB said, every now and then I go through a polish shaking ritual. I get into a lot of different tempeature ranges being a mobile detailer and it is usually the SSR2.5 and the SSR1 that gets thinned out but both still work good.
