    You shouldn't be using any pressure, you need to let the polish/pad do the work. Without a buffer it's pretty arm breaking but you just have to persevere.

    Did you cut it back with anything else before the Meguiars? You normally have to work up through a few grades of polish to achieve a really glassy finish. So cutting compound, then cut and polish, then a finishing polish and swirl remover.

    I didn’t cut back with anything beforehand. I’m assuming then the ultimate compound isn’t a cutting compound then?? Any suggestions what I should be using? Given I’m doing this by hand is there a possible issue with going through the clear using all those products?

    Is it ok to go back to another product now that I’ve been over it already ?

    Which one is Meguires ultimate? A finishing compound??

    Not sure. It doesn’t say finishing on it but says compound. Not sure where to go from here though.
