Polish residue sticking to all my rockchips

So does anyone know of a polish that will not fill all the little inperfections in the finish and turn them white??? I use poorboys SSR polishes and they work great but they fill all the little rock chip holes and everything with a white residue that gets worse over time!!!! I know this is impossible to remove carefully but what products are out there that are abrasive enought to remove swirls but will not fill all the imperfections with white residue????.

get s100 from any harley davidson store. it's a brazillian carnuba wax. it won't turn plastic, rubber, etc, white..it actually makes it darker. plus its easy as hell to apply and remove. there's no waiting for it to haze. you can wipe it off immediately or wait 10 minutes..doesn't matter. it removes light scratches and swirls and lasts a while with great beading.

What you can get is Hi Temp Prep Wash. After you polish, wash the car with this stuff and it will eat up the residue even the stuff in the cracks. What you do is mix it about 3pw:1h2o in a spray bottle, spray on your car, let it sit for like a minute to two minutes, wash mitt it like your washing your car, then rinse off. What ever little is left just put some on a cloth and wipe off the polish residue.

i just wash the car after i am finished with all the polishing. it removes all the polish in the stone chips and cracks and gets it perfectly clean before i apply a sealant and wax.
