Use of a buffer is required on heavily oxidiated parts. You may need to do a few passes as well.

I tell you one thing my car is Blazing! Man I wish I took a pic of the paint before I waxed it, this stuff is incredible. So the hood may not be shining but the car sure is

Before:

After 15 minutes with a 6" orbital buffer:

I want to do another pass at least. I still see some oxidation/discoloration in certain areas of the trunk.

Picked this up, good stuff! The hood is looking brand new. Now I have some serious protection against the hot a** AZ sun. When the CF trunk gets here it's gonna get the same Flagship wax love. Thanks Cliff!

Now all that's left is to do the backside of the trunk
