Cause- It adds resistance to the polisher, increasing friction induced heat, which dries out the lubrication. The cause could be product reside (silicone, wax or sealant, etc) interfering with the polishing process.

Correction – methods vary (dependent upon paint mfg.);

(a) Cleaning the paint surface to remove debris (silicone, wax or sealant, etc)

(b) Using less downward pressure and using a less aggressive (softer) foam pad

(c) Add lubrication (mineral oil)

(d) Use a random orbital polisher (speed 4)
