Anyone have pad recommendations or tips for applying this by machine? I tried it once before and just didn't seem to apply right. I have red/blue CCS pads, crimson HT pads so I have a selection. Just looking for pad and machine speed choice. I'll be using a flex.

Crimson would be a great choice.

Remember it's a non-abrasive polish that's intended to remove polishing oils, fillers, etc, to prep the surface for application of a coating. Since you're not using it to remove swirl marks or scratches, there is no need to use it at high speeds or with excessive pressure.

Apply it like you would a liquid wax - low speed, 2-3 passes over each area, and it will be a pleasure to work with.

Too often people think "more is better" so they crank up the speed and apply way too much pressure to the machine.

Thanks Nick, I will give it a whirl on low and see what happens! Looking to just pack my HT pads for vacation.
