Hey Ian,
I use the Meguiars pro line compounds/polishes. I've used their UC, which is designed for DA polishers, and it works well. The best compound I've ever used is Meguairs M101. It has a long working time and finishes out nearly LSP. If you get an opportunity pick up some of that and try it out. It was originally intended for the European market and to be used with a rotary buffer. The results were so good though that U.S. Detailers started demanding it and experimented using DA's and different pads. I buffed this 20 year old Chevy out for a co-worker several years ago. It was a work truck and highly neglected to the point that it had no sheen left at all. The clear had actually peeled off the roof in fact. The hood image is of the faded paint on the left side compared to one pass with Meguiars M101 on the right side. I didn't take a before pic of the entire truck, only afterward. This was done with use of my MT300 DA as I had just purchased it. I've experimented with a lot of waxes but I don't think I've tried Bilt Hamber. I tend to switch between Meguairs Gold Class carnauba and Mothers. I use Wolfgang's Deep Gloss Sealant for longevity.
Keep up the good work,
Ralph
