What you want to do is what you are doing - that is start with a
lighter polish - if you don't like that, then go to something heavier
- F7 is a good all around polish - it is formulated to start kinda
agressive, then "thin" out at bit - so if its not doing the job, then
go to the heavier. The problem with the heavier stuff is you get more
swirl marks the heavier you go.
Hope this helps....keep asking away if not
