If you are using a paste, take a stick or knife and apply an amount approx equal to two pats of butter to the pad. Spread it around a little like you are buttering you toast. Before you turn the buffer on, smear the pad onto the painted surface to spread the wax around more evenly. Then , turn the polisher on and move it in a direction similar to they way air would flow over the car. The polisher will apply the wax without any swirl marks.

Then according to directions, remove the wax by hand using a cotton terry towel of a micro-fiber one. I like the micro-fiber as they don't scratch and seem to do a better job.

Hope this helps.
