Ahh, theres a few threads with how to buff here.

Though any variable polisher and keep the speed about 2500-3500 rpms. Some soft pads (3M foam pads, black) from Eglish or any other color supplier and some swirl remover from mequires or 3M and then follow with Zaino or your wax. Its easy you'll see.

Well, if you ever have the extra time and wouldn't mind me dropping by your shop I'd like to see how it works firsthand.

Collinite 845 is a wax, not a sealant or polish, but it acts like a sealant, if that makes sense. I use it on most daily drivers as it will last a very long time if applied properly and the reflection and depth are awesome! Definitely a great buy for $15 or so.

What do you mean exactly about being applied properly? Seems like a straight foward deal, how could that be screwed up?

LSP (last step product) application should be applied properly for it to function properly and the surface must be prepped properly. By prep, I am reffering to to making sure the surface is free of bonded contaminants, also defects and swirls if desired. The appearance of paintwork is 90% prep and 10% LSP. 845 is very easy to apply but It must be shaken vigorously as it likes to into a solid at lower temp and takes a bit of shaking to get everything mixed together like it needs to. I've seen a friend apply it when it was in paste form without shaking...
