Hand polishing suggestion's

Hey,

So I am taking Ken's advice and I am going to polish my MINI by hand. I am fully prepared to not be able to feel my arms afterwards and that is all right, 2 years of swimming constantly has gotten me used to that.

That said I have never done this before so I am not really sure what I need to do a proper job of this. I obviously need a polish of some sort and some way to apply it/work it. This is the part where I could use a bit of help, I have heard that Prima swirl isnt all that friendly when it comes to being worked by hand, and that is what I was planning on using. Either way I plan on using Amigo afterwards to hopefully get anything that isnt taken off.

Maybe my question is this. If I am using Prima swirl as my polish what is the recommended way to apply it. Would a couple cheap foam pad and some elbow grease suffice?


EDIT:
NO, I will not buy a PC.
