With the optimum hyper compound and polish, make sure to shake very well and then
Squeeze the trigger very forcefully. I find I need to use a lot less of the compound than the polish to do a job. Priming the pad with ohc, I only use one spray and spray as needed. With ohp, I find it needs two sprays to prime, and then spray as needed.
Microfiber pads are pretty useless if you do not fluff up the fibers every panel or half panel with a nylon brush. If you treat them well, they will treat you very well
Awesome list and all the products are good quality so I think you will be.very happy!
