Try some 3M 5936 compound.

You should be using a "compound" to start with, then you can go with a "polish"
Be sure and use a white foam pad to start with, not the black (if you are using the 3M pads).

Shoot Ive been using the white to finish with the 3M Glaze and the yellow with the 3M Compound. Scott is this wrong?

I use all 3m pads, a white one with that 3m perfect it cutting compound, then wipe it down and clean it off with a 1:1 mixture of rubbing alcohol and water, then a black pad and race glaze to finish it off. I found the 2 biggest secrets were wiping it down between the cutting compound and the glaze compound with the 1:1 water/rubbing alcohol, and the second thing that seemed to help was to use the products sparingly. Again, that's just what seems to be working for me, anyhow.....
