    You said it!

    I have done a few of those and it is nearly impossible to get a perfect finish. I have tried using brand new microfibers to buff off a final polish and it will scratch let alone applying a wax or sealant. My best result was with RMG.

    You`d probably get more responses in the general car detailing forum.

    use a really fine polish like menzerna FPII or the 106ff and a blue finishing pad, or a white heavy polishing pad. two passes of a fine polish might be better than one pass polish and one pass fine polish....
