No - continue to work by hand and if you're not getting the results you want or you find it's too much work then it might be time to think about a PC. Don't sweat paint removal too much - unless you do something monumentally crazy it's actually pretty difficult to polish too much clear coat away by hand or with a PC.

 

so whats a good polish to remove average swirls? is it a like a 5 step thing like using heavy polish to fine polish?

 

You won't accomplish anything by hand. Start with a good dual-action polisher (like the Porter Cable) and the least aggressive pad/polish combination. If you're still not getting results, up the pad, then up the polish, so on and so forth. I highly recommend Menzerna products.

If you're not comfortable with this, or aren't getting results, take it to a pro.

 

i know this is gonna be a dumb question, but i'll ask it anyways... where can i get a porter cable and what model do i get?

 

Lowes. It's $109, $99 if you use the movers coupon. The model is 7336 (or 7427), they are the same thing except the 7336 has a larger counterweight, so either is fine.

If you don't have a lowes nearby you can buy it online at a number of detailing outlets.

 

Good to know, thanks
