Taka:

I use the 3M machine glaze with the PC 7424 and I use a damp cloth to cut down 
on the elbow grease and time. Getting the polish off with a dry cloth is a 
PITA especially if it starts to dry.

I use a nice clean absorbent cloth and have a clean full bucket of water handy 
and basically sponge off the polish and rinsing frequently. I find this cuts 
down the time and I can do a large area all at once (say half the hood). There 
is a slight amount of polish residue left over, but no big deal, it gets 
removed during the hand wax part.

One tip, you will need to open the doors, trunk and hood after and remove the 
residual polish that was worked its way into the cracks.
