I was just reading an article about the lc pad review. I have been using an ip with a medium cutting pad at 1000rpm followed by final polish II at 1000rpm. Should i be concerned about removing too much clear with this method. I am using a polish pad for the second pass with the final ppolish? The car looks great. Am i really removing a noticeable amount of clear in the long run? Should i just use the intensive polish when i must and simplu use the final polish with a polish pad to preserve the clear and get decent results?
 
I wouldnt worry to much about it.



And yes, you only use aggresive products and pads when you NEED to, not "just becuase".
 
Experiance will tell you.

I know its soft when my least aggressive combo leaves micro-marring or when deep imperfections can be removed easily with a moderately aggressive combo.
 
I have a TL, and used a PC for the first time about a month ago using menz IP. I used it a few times on one section with an orange/yellow pad. It did took most of the swirls out, but the deeper ones are still there when you look under a light.



I did a search to find a different polish a step up from IP and tried SFX-1. It got rid or I would say 85% of that deeper scratch (swirls) off of my roof.



At first I thought IP was strong since it said "Intense Polish" but actually it's a light polish which shouldn't harm your clearcoat using a PC. I used this chart here that helped me which other compounds polishes I need...

It changes from car to car, even within the same brand range, so it's always best to start with something less aggressive and see how it affects the finish - how much swirling/scratches does it correct, how much micromarring, hologramming etc.
