Default Bad Experiences with Meguiar's Ultimate Polish

I was polishing one of my vehicles earlier today (Okay, not the 'Vette, but that is not the point). I was using Meguiar's "Ultimate Liquid Polish" and had a very bad experience with this stuff sticking to the paint like CEMENT and not wanting to come off no matter how hard I rubbed. I followed the directions even removing it as I applied it, and still this stuff stuck to the paint and would not rub off. Anyone else have a similar experience with this stuff?

Some of the Autogeek reviews are similar to yours. It seems it is difficult to remove, and even gets gummy when it is a little humid. The guys who like it do one panel at a time, use a very thin application, and remove it as soon as it hazes.

Did you use a DA or was this by hand?

Weird...was the product old or expired maybe? I used 3 of their products over the weekend. Swirlx, Ultimate compound and m105 and never had issues with getting it off of the car.
