    Question on Bill North method

    I did a good amount of research and have an idea how to do this method. My question is when I apply the SG to say half of my hood, do I do one pass on a section with the MF pad or several times and then buff off right away?

    Mothers mag/aluminum polish hard to buff off

    Maybe I put too much on and tried to buff off right away. I feel like I have to put pressure on the towel to buff it off. Is this a product where you apply and then wait for the polish to dry and then buff off? Or can I apply it and then buff off immediately?

    washing MF pads

    Is it ok to use a soft bristle brush to clean stubborn dirt on the mf pads? I usually use a soft bristle nail brush to scrub off the dirt. It works at removing the dirt but will it harm the pad and remove the fibers?

    Did I apply too much wax?

    On top of 5 coats of SG on my GN, I have sprayed so far a coat of Meguiars new quick wax spray bottle. I notice hazy spots on the car under fair lighting conditions.

    Keeping MF towels soft

    Everytime I hand wash these towels with Dawn(blue colored one) and let it air dry it always feels stiff and not really soft. Is the Dawn too much for it or should I just go with a mild detergent such as Tide? I'm not too fond of putting mf towels in the drier because of lint.
