You are going to have to use 4" pads or go it by hand. I use optimum products. Polish, Compound and Hyper Compound. I just don't see how you are going to correct any signifigant marring without the 4" pads. If it's really bad, and along the tank panels on a harley, you will have to loosen up the nut on the dash and polish underneath. I find a lot of bike owners have a tendency to wipe along the lines of their tank panel and or gas cap. creating a ton of linaear swirls which cannot be removed without the removal of the aforementioned items. Even if you choose to remove all these marks I can all most guarantee the will be back if you ever detail the bike again.
