Buy the terry cloth & microfiber bonnets from Autogeek online. I apply each step using the buffer with a clean terry cloth bonnet, then remove by hand with a clean terry cloth towel. Finish up with a microfiber buff. Each step gets easier as the surface gets slicker.
Looking back on earlier threads by an expert from Meguiars (Mike) I would not be using Terry cloth or micro fiber bonnets.
The best material to use is the various grades of foam heads. Terry cloth applies too much heat to the paint and you could really mess up the car.
It's your car so do whatever you want, but be careful out there.

I would start the process using a clay bar though.
Look for posts by MikeInOrange, he has not been around lately so people might be sliding to other brands now, he had a loyal following at one time.
