not sure if thats the correct way to use it but its what my mate did
That is how I do it, damp mop head and keep the panel slightly wet, especially on a car as faded as this.

You can use it dry or atleast drier but there is a high chance you will burn through on the edges and obviously you don't want to be doing that so I'd rather have a bit of G3 to clear up than something I can't without repainting the panel

The Audi needed the bumpers and other hard to get to parts removing as its not perfect, maybe I'm a bit anal but seeing how well it did come up I'm keen to get it looking as good as it can.
