Used a light cut pad, then a finishing pad to apply the wax.
3m Perfect-It 2 Pad Glaze-Dark is what I started with, added a smidgen of P21 Finish Restorer to the first application of Perfect-It to speed things up a bit. Polish until it starts to haze, wipe off with Micro fiber, repeat until you are satisfied with the amount of scratch removal that has been accomplished. Dont be afraid to apply slight-medium pressure.

Once you have reached the degree of smoothness that you want, do a good dry wipe down with micro. Pop your carnauba out of the can, wipe it on the surface of the finish pad, and go to town, repeat.
I used carnauba to avoid any staining of the hazard light and door lock surrounds.
