I'm always pretty conservative when it comes to how much clearcoat you should remove. BUT..sometimes, especially when you're just starting to get a (previously abused) car into "Autopian condition", you have to be pretty aggressive. Then pamper it so you don't have to do THAT again.
*IMO*, sure, try using the Meg's maroon pad. I has just a little more bite than the CMA yellow. MOST of the time, the (foam) pad just lets the product work its magic better. The pad itself isn't gonna cause any big problem.
Even the (right) wool pad isn't THAT aggressive on a PC. And yes, I do serious swirl removal at speed 6.
Again, just *MY OPINION*, but I STRONGLY urge everyone (who hasn't done a lot of it with great results...you guys know who you are, this isn't about you

) to just FORGET ABOUT WETSANDING YOUR BASECOAT/CLEARCOAT PAINT. Even 2000 grit wet takes a "feel"...how much do *YOU* think .3 mils feels like? You'll still have to polish it out, and by the time you remove that much clear it's too late. Better to have imperfect original paint than to have to repaint.
Hey Jason, getting a feel for that rotary?
