Ayuda Amigo!

Please help me out here. Today is the day its beautiful out and I'm going to machine polish!

my question is about Amigo. do I apply speed 3 like a wax with a faster arm motion? Or should I use speed 5 like an abrasive with slow consistent movement?

I should have a great post about my results next week.
