For this reason, I didn't use any of the 106 bottle that I have (and that's an expensive bottle).
Now that I have a rotary, I might hit it back this year with either the white or black /gray pad to see if I can make that extra glow come out. Am I the only one on with this experience?

This is why I would recommend three applications with a PC. A PC by it's very nature doesn't have much bite. So it will take multiple applications of whatever polish you're using to see the desired results. I'd be willing to bet that if I took my rotary and did two applications of 106 to your car after you SIP'd it with your DA, you would be singing an entirely different tune.
More discussion about using either the white or black pad: If you are not going to be doing any correction at all with your 106 step, *always* use the black pad. You don't want the pads bite interferring with your
final polish. The bite of the pad will always prevent you from bringing out the best finish. You need a no bite pad to really reach the full potential of 106.
