Making sure I'm using orbital polisher right. I did this to my DD before touching the SS to make sure I did it right.
I used Sonus pads.
Yellow-Meguiars Scratch-X
white- Meguiars #7 Deep gloss glaze
Blue- NXT
microfiber bonnet- Take the wax off.
On the SS since there aren't many scratches I was going to up a pad
I.E. white-scratch X
blue Gloss Glaze
micro fiber bonnet to apply and take off the NXT
Overall the DD's paint was bad.. looks halfway decent now.
Actually now After reading the directions it says its bad to use diffrent products on the same pad.. I'll just leave out the scratch x the glaze and NXT should get out the light swirls.

not sure about all the products I say just be carful around edges etc. not to burn through the paint not much paint on them corners 
I use the same pad buffing then a diffrent pad for polishing.

don't use scratchx with a machine, it will gum up quickly .. if you allow scratchx to dry, it can become very hard to remove .. if that happens, use a little QD and a microfiber to remove it..
#7 will not remove anything .. it has no cut at all .. it is simply a glaze, and not a very long lasting one. it is great for a day or two for a show .. that is about it
the NXT will take out some very light swirls .. if it doesn't.. then grab some #9, or the 3M
