And since he posted pictures showing defects that he wasn't happy with, I'm assuming he wants the paint completely corrected. If you don't want paint corrected, why use an abrasive polish at all?
If you do some research I think you'd find that there is a grunge layer (anyone that's ever removed a front bra can confirm) of contamination, minor oxidants and just plain grime that just doesn't come off with a wash and detail clay (even if you use the dreaded dawn wash).
Polishing gets rid of this grunge layer, leaving a squeaky clean surface - not all polishing is done to remove swirls and scratches.
