Slight confusion regarding UPPP

Hope this is a legitimate question and not an obvious display of my newbieness.

Getting ready for my fall/winter prep and had a question regarding UPPP. After the usual wash/clay procedure I need a very slight correction (minor micro-marring on a 2005 Carbon Black M3). The plan is to polish with Menz FPII which I suspect will clean up most of the micro-marring (if not I'll hit the needed areas with Menz P106FA) then I plan on hitting it with UPPP and applying UPGP.

My confusion is with UPPP's capabilities. According to the site:

"Ultima Paint Prep Plus is an effective treatment for fine swirl marks...."
and
"However, Ultima Paint Prep Plus is not a corrective paint polish."
and
"...The very fine abrasives (polish) in Ultima Paint Prep Plus ..."

So I read this as UPPP has very fine abrasives and will remove fine swirl marks, but it is not a corrective paint polish. I may be splitting hairs here, but those statements seem contradictory to me. I am not expecting M105 correction capabilities, but since abrasives are present there is a slight correcting capability...maybe??.

Question: Should I even bother with the Menz FPII or just go straight to UPPP?

Thanks

Re: Slight confusion regarding UPPP

Although minimal, I get correction out of UPPP on my carbon black m3. But, I would suggest going with 106FA first to remove any defects and then proceed to UPPP for the most refined finish and to ensure that the slight defects are removed.

Re: Slight confusion regarding UPPP

From those statements I'd compare the Paint Prep to an AIO in terms of corrective ability unless you bust out an orange pad.
