Sorry fella, i forgot about the pm

Well, is the buffer a rotary or random orbital?
Reason i ask is you can use srp via machine but it can dry out quite quickly on a rotary.
Use a good 2" line of polish on the pad and maybe a little quick detail spray to keep it lubricated, and spread on a low spead to get even coverage, then work it for a minute to break it down, then wipe and buff with a microfibre cloth.

Wax is best applied using a foam pad, wipe on a verythin layer in a circular fashion, then go over it in straight lines to get it nice and even.
Leave to cure for a minute then buff off.
Enjoy!
