In preparation for the arrival of my Porter Cable 7424 and a box of Adams car care supplies, I decided to use my old supplies on the Intrepid and practice the techniques I've been watching at the various car car sites. (I've been reading your post Golfdude) I have lots of various Meguires products and decided to see what I could do. (Used to do it by hand using No. 2, followed by No. 9, followed by 26 with great results) I started with my old black and decker orbital polisher and meguires paint cleaner. After working it in, it was hard to get off. Tried again after reading the bottle one more time and used more pressure and wiped it off before it had a chance to dry. Much better but virtually none of the swirls came out. Went ahead anyway with Meguires No. 7 Show car glaze. Real hard to get off. First I tried working it in for longer. Same. Tried less time. Same. Rats. Well it was just hard to get off! Perhaps its my orbital buffer which has only one speed (3600 rpm) Finished with Megures cleaner wax because it's what I have in the closet. Man the car shines great. But I'm doing it the hard way or something. Is the orbital too slow to get the swirls out or do I need another product? Oh, I used terry cloth pads on the Orbital. Wrong pad? The shine is as good as any I've seen, but those swirls.....got to learn. And it can't be as hard by machine as by hand. I need some tips before I set my sights on the xfire.
