To remove light swirling, I am planning to use Menzerna Final Polish II (FP2) on my brand-new black Prius, after washing with Dawn and claying.
The instructions on the bottle call for application at 1,000 - 1,200 RPM. The Griot's Garage 6" random orbital polisher I bought specifically for this task has a range of 2,500 - 6,800 orbits per minute (OPM).
I'm not sure how RPM compares or translates to OPM. (1) Are they equivalent? (2) If not, how do they compare? (3) If so, in the group's collective wisdom, would using the lowest possible setting on the polisher cause harm to the paint when used with FP2?
I did check to see whether this question has been addressed and I found no information, so please withhold flames.
Many thanks.
UPDATE: Griot's Garage customer service just told me there is no direct way to compare RPM to OPM and advised using settings 3-4 on its polisher.
