Apply it by hand. I believe i have read a few threads were someone used a oribital buffer and it killed the clear coat on the hood.

Because if you tried searching you'd probably get your answer right away without having to make a whole post about it and waiting for a response.
Search first, if your question is answered - good for you. If not, then POST. Saves everyone some time.

yea Craig stop being a lazy *** and do a search. It is just as effective, quicker answer and keeps the forums less cluttered.

Re: (insomniac791)
use a polish its easier to work with, when i got my hood i waxed it with meguiars (reflections) and that **** was way too thick, i think some got through to the carbon fiber. Now i use mothers step two glaze on the hood and zymol on my paint, i want to try meguairs cleaner wax, i think its just like zymol though.

not necessarily... waxing clear coat is always good, this is because it protects ur clear coat and gives u that extra shine we all aim for.

waxing also keeps your paint well oiled. Paints have oil in them. A lot of the oil in paint have uv protection in them.
