#9 - greasy haze
Did a quick detail on the truck today. Clayed, #9, NXT, #26. On both the tailgate and more so on the hood, the #9 left a faint, greasy haze that couldn't be wiped away. Matter of fact the haze remained even after the NXT, it finally cleared after the #26. It was 70 degrees here today so drying shouldn't have been an issue. Almost like trying to wipe off #7 when it's too cold or humiditiy is high. What happened?? :o

#9 is a very oily product and, as such, you will occasionally get this end result. Drier products (relatively speaking from a polishing oils standpoint) will be less likely to yield this look -- I hesitate to call it a 'problem' as it's kind of in the mix and in the design for use.
In short, it'll be hit and miss on when you'll see this happen and when you won't. I know of the characteristics that you've noted -- I've seen them myself oodles of times -- but, I've always found that my LSP would 'erase' them to a certain degree and yield a top notch look.
#9 continues to be a handy product in my repertoire of products however; I do tend to go with the #80 or #81 more often than #9 simply because of the REMOVAL versus CONCEALMENT of paint problems paradigm.

I tend to like #9 on my hood for the reasoning that I test out everything on my hood... and have used way too many abrasives there. Because of this, I need to be careful, and rather than abrasively removing each mark as it appears, I like to cover them up until I can justify doing the entire hood...
But this is all in my opinion. Feel free to form your own...

Thanks fella's, exactly what I needed to know. I really like the #9 on my motorcycles where it's hand applied or machine applied on well maintained finishes. Like to stay away from abrasives unless they are truely needed. #9 seems to fill that niche pretty well. Thanks again.

Well... I've posted almost everything I've done...save for one or two apps of Color X and Step 1... But mostly I'm worried about the previous owner of the beast... and I'm overly cautious (as I'm sure you are) about my paint. I'm pretty sure it's unnessesary worries, but it's better safe than sorry...and definately a great excuse to use/buy some new stuff for the truck...
But thanks for the tip. Just out of curiosity, how much of my clear do you think was removed in my Turtle Wax Tragedy (the one with the polishing compound and the wool bonnet...that left swirling from hell...)???
