Chris, very nice work! Was that done with a rotary or orbital or both? Also whats your choice of pads?
I think you already know the answer...but Ill answer anyway
Rotary all the way with the RO just as a last step with 85RD to make sure they was no buff marks in sight. An RO would have taken forever if at all to remove those imperfections, and you should have seen the sides LOL
I only use the RO these days to finish dark cars with soft paint, Ive had a good run lately and got thru a XR8, MX5 and Range Rover all Black and not needed the RO.
My goto pads are the Wolfgang 7.5" pads on the rotary and the Wolfgang 6.5" pads on the RO I also have the Wolfgang 4" pads for tight spots on the rotary. Then if things arnt going to well I have the Edge 8" pads, 3M black and white waffle pads and Meguires 8" wool, red cutting and white finishing I also have the Edge duofoam pads for the RO

Glass is actually quite hard to get right. its hard to explain but you basically need to clean the crud off, polish all the film and residue off and then remove the smears left behind.
Clean cloths id the key not really the products.
You can try newspaper and glass cleaner, the newspaper print acts as a polish, just dont let it get to wet maybe a new sheet every piece of glass. you have to play with it to get it right.
