I second(or third or fourth) everything said here except I don't let the wax sit for an hour. I wipe on, wipe off. Everyone uses their own method so see which way works best for you.

Aquabuff makes 3M Super Duty look like a polish, not to mention its white instead of orange/yellow so it doesnt stain dehydrated gelcoat. 3M Superduty smells like ass too

What type of orbital is it? If its a new Porter Cable/Griots/Meguiars/etc. I use LC flat blue pads. To remove I use microfiber towels.
