As the first polish the desired area, I have done this with a Sonax product. (Polisch + Wax 3). Directly from hand polishing cloth with this I would advise against. But if a machine is a surface finish polished, then it is good for dry streaks. And to avoid smearing :) Normally ranging from 2 pieces to polish a car. But I have 4 passes polished (15 years no polish on this car) there were possibly 3-4 pieces come to good, because when they are too wet just everything is still smeared. Otherwise very good and recommended.
