Yeah, me too. I left some etching on the roof of my wife's A8 when I was doing pretty aggressive rotary work..the horizontal panels aren't somewhere I want thin clear.
AutoInt's Paint Correction Cream is made for exactly this sort of thing- removing etching with a rotary- and IIRC it takes off so much clear that you can hardly polish again *ever* after you use it. It takes off something like a tenth of a mil each time you use it and you might have to do a few passes to get the paint truly flattened out. You get what, three, maybe five tenths max before you precipitate clearcoat failure? Too risky in my book.
It really does pay to think long-term; there's not much chance you won't be doing more polishing down the road and if you're getting etching from the dew it's gonna keep on happening.
IMO that's one of the temptations with the rotary- the itch to do just a *little* more in pursuit of perfection. Once you see how much correction it does compared to the PC it can be hard to stop at the "much better, good enough" point.
