When using most metal polishes, you don't want to let them dry.

For example when I'm using Mothers Billet Polish, I work an area to create a buttery black residue with my PowerCone (or by hand), then wipe that area before it dries. Then go on to the next area. When I'm done, I'll spray the surface and a towel with FX Spray Wax and wipe off any excess while providing a protective shine.
