Evaluate your paint surface before you decide on what to use. You may need a heavy polish.. you may not.

Paint overall is in pretty good shape. This is after NXT wash and nothing else.

I use NXT but all I use under it is some mothers glaze and sometimes deoxidizer under that. Thats only because Im trying to get rid of it so I can swtich over to Meguiars glaze. The results are nice and scratchless though.

Kman went to a Meguiars class and asked ??? re: our f-bodies, found out that the clearcoat GM used is super hard, durable, so getting an abrasive polish that works with a Porter Cable would do you REAL good.
After the wash I claybar'd my car, then used Meguiars #83 using the 8006 pad and set the Porter Cable @5, what Meguiars recommends.
Then, used Meguiars #80, polish wish some mild abrasives using the 8006 pad, finally 2 coats of NXT via Porter Cable & 9006 pad & set the Porter Cable @3...
Use a foam wax applicator for the spots where you cannot use the PC.
When using #83, you don't have to apply pressure, weight of the PC is just fine!
Apply 10-15lbs pressure when giving your car a coat of #80.
Wax application for NXT is set the PC to 3, no pressure is necessary.

#83 is a borderline rotary only product .. it can be very picky, and most people can get just as good of results using #80 multiple times.
when using #83 with a PC, you almost always need to follow up with another product, like #80 ..
#83 does require pressure, just like anything else with some cutting ability.

About moistening the pad.. its a good idea, I do it everytime. I use a quick detailer to spritz a applicator and then rub it in with my fingers before applying anything.
