yes, wet sand then clean it off how ever, wash with soap and water or wipe it off clean with a clean rag or paper towels. then use the pad and some compound, test it on a small area first to see how fast its going to cut. pad speed, pressure and compound are going to make a difference in the cut and gloss.

clean then lightly sand it or use a red or gray scotch bright pad. then put about 6 more wet coats of clear on 10 -15 min between coats. let it dry for a day, maybe out in the sun then do your buffing as before.

yep speed is important. you might try it see if you can lock out the orbit, some you can and some you cant.
