My wife has a 2000 Naples Gold Honda Accord. It`s her daily driver and has never seen the inside of a garage for more than two days in a row. It had some pretty strong water spot etchings in the surface which I have been able to reduce but not rid completely. I have used the regular Turtle Wax rubbing compound once by hand and 3M`s Medium Cut compound once or twice with a PC and then 3M`s Fine Cut compound about three times with a PC.

My question is: How many times can I use rubbing compound (the 3M Medium to be more precise. The TW by hand was a PITA!) before the clearcoat get`s damaged? I was going to try the Medium Cut with a yellow PC pad instead of the orange pad one I`ve been using to get more cut.
