I totally agree. Also, using a clay bar after washing the car will remove allot of debris from the paint. By removing this additional dirt, and always using clean pads (as mentioned above) I get pretty good results with my Porter Cable. My detail procedure is as follows:
1) wash (with dawn)
2) clay bar
3) wash again (new water soap)
4) polish (somtimes I use a cleaner first)
5) glaze (optional, but good for balck)
6) wax
