I applied the AIO with an orange lake country pad using the porter cable set to speed 4. Working 1 panel at a time (except the hood. I did the hood in 4 sections), I applied AIO, let it sit for a short time then buffed it off with a crusty sock....

Just checking to see if you're paying attention

With a microfiber towel. I dip the orange pad in water (just face down for a few seconds), then squeeze any excess out (ring it out like a towel) then apply the AIO. Seems to work very well.

Now in your case, I would actually polish the whole car with Griots Garage #2 polishing compound then finish with #3 which is the finest compound. Then wash the car again, dry, then apply AIO.
