Pat, my System 51 and 3" griots orbital came yesterday. I used it briefly on a stab and results were less than stellar. Obviously there is technique that you have learned. Rather than going through the same experiments, would you mind letting me know what exactly you do to polish?

which pad with which system 51? The blue, orange and red came with the kit.
how much product? Just a drop in the middle or do you cover the pad?
how long or what do you look for when polishing?
do you polish until the polish gets dry? And squeeks?
the clear is already very shiny....can you just polish the paint without sanding cutting?
what speed do you polish at? I used 2 and later 3 but don't think it was enough
how easy is it to cut through the corners?

thanks
