Two quick points:

1.  Be fairly liberal in your use of HD-C.  Zymol actually
    recommends that you use the entire 8-ounce bottle for
    one car; I think it's more realistic to get two applications
    from the 8-ounce bottle.  I do sections about the same size
    as Paul mentions... I just pour a stripe of the stuff across
    the area, then start rubbing it in with a cotton applicator.
    I use the same applicator for the whole car, but change
    the terry cloth that I use to buff it off with at least
    once.

2.  If you use t-shirts, or other laundry scraps, be careful
    to observe the following:
    - Use only 100% cotton!!  It's easy to grab an old t-shirt
      that might be a polyester/cotton blend, and these
      *will* scratch!
    - When washing your car-cleaning rags, do *not* use fabric
      softener; there's something in the softener that will
      cause the rags to leave scratches/swirls.
