I have always believed that all body/paint products should be applied in a straight motion not circular....... BUT ....I watched the Mequiars 3 part video and all products are applied in a circular motion. What do you think , I don't want swirls . PS Does anyone know where Rejex can be purchased in Vancouver BC ?

I've used both methods successfully.
Logic would say that a circular motion is very similar to the effect of an ordital polisher/buffer.
So there should be no problem with a circular motion if you apply only very light pressure.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
Applying by hand in a circular motion supposedly gives the best uniform coverage. Shouldn't produce swirls.
You can then still polish out in straight moves
