Should I NOT polish my car?
I have a 2003 Subaru Legacy wagon, and is covered with fine swirl marks that I would like to polish out using a porter cable 7424 with an orange polish pad from lake country pads (light cutting power, I believe); using Pinnacle XMT 3 swirl remover followed by Pinnacle XMT 1 finishing polish (using the white pad from lake country). My concern is this: I have the dreaded paint knicks on the front of my hood from road debris... If I polish that part of my hood, would it cause more damage to the paint system by stripping or chipping more of the clear coat? If so, should I skip polishing the chip marks, or should I simply use a less aggressive compound and pad (such as pinnacle xmt 2 and white pad)? Any help on this matter would be great. Thanks!

swirl marks are caused using an aggressivee polish and the wrong pad.try using a 3m black pad and finishing by hand.i use auto glym super resin on my car,its the bomb!i would not keep using a machine next to the stone ships as this might tend to wear away the eco coat on the metal which protects your car from rust. i am a spray painter ,its what i do

I'm a painter too.My advice is to skip the more aggressive compound,it's only going to leave more swirl marks to reappear later.The best method is to use the extremely light polish and fine pad.Follow with a thick coat of paste wax,burnished to a high gloss with a clean, fine foam pad. Any attempt to totally remove fine flaws will only meet with trouble.
