Maybe 2 hours give or take a few minutes.

I used the Porter Cable variable speed rotary and 6.5 foam pads from Lake Country. First the orange pad, then the white (for rubbing), finishing with the black pad for the Liquid Glass.

No real science behind it. I used 3M Rubbing compound, liquid not paste. I started with the orange pad doing a 2x2 feet area at a time. After one complete pass over the car I followed with the white pad. The 2 more times with the Liquid Glass. Will end this weekend with a final Meguiars Ultimate Wax coat or two.

Have you ever tried mcguiers #7 show car glaze and mcguiars #20 polymer sealant? It last a long time and shines very well on a car with good paint

I think I tried the glaze but never the sealant. I like almost all Meguiars products BTW. The only one I found a bit weak was the metal polish.
