You've received a lot of great help thus far but to also chime in...
I have a DA polisher (PC7424xp)
In context of the time period of "Automotive Paint Compounds & Polishes", the dual action polisher could still be considered fairly new. Note it offers TWO actions,
Oscillation
Rotation
Not all compounds and polishes on the market are designed for this "relatively" new type of tool.
Most compounds and polishes that have been around a long time were originally formulated to be used with a tool with ONE action, that is the rotary buffer. It only rotates.
Here's the point, if you take abrasive technology, that is compounds and polishes, that were originally formulated to be used with a rotary buffer and try to use them with a dual action polisher, more times than not you get what we call, DA Haze or Micro-marring.
3M has been around as long as most and even longer than most but if you read the instructions on the labels for their Professional Line, they state they are ALL for use with a Rotary Buffer, not a dual action polisher. Such is the case for a of established products in the refinishing and reconditioning industries. I don't know what the directions say for your Malco products, perhaps read them and post back here if they actually state they can be used with a dual action polisher or if they state for use with a rotary buffer.
Bigger point being,
abrasive technology is different from company to company.
I was using the products on Mercedes paint and as well a new Hyundai paint
Be careful when working on new Mercedes-Benz cars, some have Ceramiclear paint systems.
The LAST thing you want to do with a Ceramiclear paint system is use aggressive and especially gritty aggressive compounds on them. Take a moment to
