im about to give my s3 a polish with autoglym high resigh polish. is it best to use my electric polisher to apply the polish of just to buff the polish off??
 
i need to cut it back a little in order to remove some of the scratches though??
 
I guess it would work, but I wouldn't want to introduce any of those circular swirls.

Just going by wnat I've been told in the past. I always apply polish in long strokes and use a circular motion for the wax.

I could be wrong of course.
 
if its a random orbital you will be fine esp. since i'm guessing that autoglym stuff is more of a scratch filling rather than cutting polish. let the weight of the buffer and the product do its work - don't apply pressure.

buff off by hand and note you should never use a circular motion as any micro marring will be visable from all angles. using a back and forward motion following the wind-flow patterns over the car.

go see autopia.org for good detailing forums and how to's.
