I prefer to use a polishing pad for these both types of products. For the polish, you can also move up to a light cutting pad as well and then follow up with a polishing pad if the paint needs a two-step process.

Alot of people prefer to apply the Klasse AIO by hand but it can be applied by machine if you mist your pad with water or quick detail spray and spread it nice and thin.

Meguir's has a nice polishing pad that work well on the Porter Cable random orbit. That's all I use, but I imagine there are others that work just as well.

I use the Meguiar's #8006 for polishing and #9006 for Finishing. When I use Klasse, I start with the 8006 because it will remove a lot of fine swirls.

At the BMW shop where I detail, I don't use Klasse products because they dry white and we get a lot of pre-owned cars with small stone/rock chips. Too much extra work involved to remove the excess from those areas. We typically Compound + Glaze + Meguiar's #26. For Black Bimmer's, I've used Pinnacle Paste Glaze (not made anymore) or Souveran.

Are you guys using the waffle pads on dual-action polishers? I've used them on circular polishers with good results but never could get them to perform on a DA polisher.
