Polish vs. Clear Coat

I've had a PC for a year now. I tend to test all new products on the trunk or hood of my 2001 BMW.



The most agressive combo I have is SSR2.5 and LC orange pad.



I polsih maybe 2-3 times per year or maybe more on those spots, just to play with PC and products.



I am at risk for killing the clear coat or do I have many happy years of polishing ahead?



Thanks,

Steve
 
I would recommend going down to your local body shop and have them give you a slightly dented hood or trunk lid to practice on. That combo several times a year might not be the best thing.
 
Well, it's not always the 2.5 and orange, but now I have some FPII to play with and FMJ. Lets say I did a white pad and FPII several times per year? I just don't want to eat through the clear in 2 years.

If you really enjoy polishing, just do other people's cars. Make a little money while you're at it. I wouldn't do it to my own car just for the sake of trying them out. I only polish when it really needs polished because I don't want to remove any clearcoat when I don't have to.
