For info on how to *really* spitshine, search for a thread originated by Nick T. (gone but not forgotten).

The pseudo-spitshine is pretty simple. I oughta do a thread on it sometime, but here goes a short version: spritz a *small* amount of LSP-friendly QD (preferably *chilled* QD) on the panel, apply the LSP via machine, working it until the QD is gone and there's just a light film of LSP residue left. Buff out per usual.

Don't use too much QD or too much LSP. Don't press hard with the machine while applying.

By "LSP-friendly QD" I mean products that'll work well together. Wax-containing QDs like Griot's SpeedShine work well with waxes, and while I've yet to try it I strongly suspect that FK425 would work *SUPER* with their FK1000P. But this is really a wax-centric technique IMO.
