yes you can. if the car has no swrils like you say then you can either polish it some more to jewl the paint or you can seal and wax it. pad choice would be using a polishing pad by lake country white, or lake country finishing pad. Or meguiars soft buff finishing pad the tan or their solo black pad.

I just did a car like that. One of mine, actually. I took delivery of the car unprepped, did all the work myself, and it hadn't been touched with polish since. Its clear is relatively soft so I started with a grey CCS on a Flex with M205, and finished/burnished with UF on blue and gold CCS/Kompressor pads, respectively. I could have easily skipped a polishing step, but I wanted to play with some of the toys. To answer your second question, there's a noticeable difference.

Yeah, I hardly ever polish our vehicles any more; I just do some kind of paint cleaning and refresh the LSP.
Something that's almost functionally nonabrasive (e.g., 1Z Pro MP or WPS, Menzerna FPII) can give a nice little boost via jeweling/burnishing without taking off an appreciable amount of clear. Something that *is* functionally nonabrasive can work fine too (various AIOs, paint cleaners, and even cleaner-waxes come to mind).
(Note that "functionally nonabrasive" is a matter of the pad/product combo, not just one or the other.)
I just did my wife's A8 and I only polished the hood. The rest of it was good enough (well, at least for now
there might be 3-4 RIShallowS on the trunklid) that I didn't feel it needed polished so all I did was clay it with Sonus green and refresh the #16.
