trying my hand at Machine Polishing, I usually apply a glaze called "black Hole", Then over that a wax called Nattys liquid Blue. All done by hand.......To save time and get a better finish, I have bought a DA polisher, Ive been advised to put the glaze on using the machine then the final layer of wax by hand. Im sturggling to guage when to put more product onto the mop, I do a panel at a time, and initially put five pea sized blobs onto the pad, then apply it even and uniformly. what should I be looking for on the panel to tell me that its time to stop polishing with the machine, eg a good overall coating, or as one YT video suggests, "Shiny" patches which suggest the polish is about to "SHINE UP".
Also is it good practice to give the mop a quick mist every now and then with water of Detailing spray....Thanks for any advice.

Polishing pads should be primed before use with a quick mist of quick detailer but I use cold water. The polish should be worked methodically in an overlapping pattern at high speed and after a few dozen passes the polish will start to turn clear as the abrasives breakdown. I don't have a DA polisher just a twin speed Frued Rotary Polisher with different head attachments.

Black hole is a filler glaze designed to fill and mask defects, you might as well use it by hand tbh. If you are gonna use the DA you can correct the defects. Have a look for Junkman 2000 on youtube, his tutorials are very good to get you on the right track using Megs 105 & 205.
