Random orbit polisher removal pad

[rmanrman]

In the past when cars were hand waxed the removal of the white powdery wax was a Pia to remove. I had a pad for my random orbital polish er that was a screen like consistency that removed the haze without any visible scratches

I’ve searched the web and auto parts and no one knows what I need. Only suggestions is use a thick lambswool pad but it clogs easily and then I’m trying to clean it then I finish by hand using microfiber towels. Any suggestions to find this pad or a quicker way to remove haze easily. I’m in my senior years and don’t have the energy but love a clean car. (Can’t afford professional detailings). Thanks

Foam pads work pretty well, I would have to ask what product you are using that is leaving that heavy of a haze? Most new waxes and sealants aren't that heavy.

I put the machine on a lower speed, and put a microfiber towel under a foam pad or a lambswool, depending on what machine I am using, FWIW, if you are having trouble with haze, you are waxing too large of a section. Do about an 18" square at a time, put the wax on and immediately buff it. If you use the machine to work it in, and do not put too much on, or leave it on too long, it should be really easy to buff out by hand. There are some products like Klasse, for instance that you will be really screwed if you use too much or leave it on too long, or try to do a big section.

If you have already clay bared the car, or used a machine polish or cleaner, waxing should be very easy. If you are using a cleaner wax, use a white or yellow pad. Buff in a square at a time, and immediately hit it with your towel. There should be very little residue, and it should come right off whether you put the towel under the pad on the machine, or do it by hand.

Somethings not right, what wax/polish are you using?

I use nothing but Lake Country pads. They have about 6 different grade of pads. From heavy cutting to polishing.
Like the others have said what are you using? There are a lot of great waxes and sealants out today. But use the right pad.

Sounds like the old Turtle Wax to me. I use Meguire's "Gold Class". You can do the whole car and just rub off easily with a microfiber.
