I have seen a 3M guy melt clear coat and bring it togther over a scratch. If you know what you are doing you will not have swirl marks. My dad has a used car lot and one of the guys there is awesome. I can get a finish that has no swirls but not as quickly as he can.
The pad makes a diference but not like it used to, I used a none agressive psd because I don't do it enough anymore so I don't want to burn through. I also use a diminisihing grip polish, the more you use it the le finer it gets. If you are just starting out look at the Porter Cable 6" Variable-Speed Random-Orbit Polisher
It will take longer but you will not burn through. If you are seeing swirl marks your grit is to large move to the next finer grit. You will need to work your way down. Every show car that you have ever seen has been buffed with an orbital unit. It takes parctice. Like I said you can get a mirror finish if you take your time. The random orbital unit will also help with swirl marks.

I got a Turtle Way random orbital waxer/polisher for Christmas. It came with 4 different pads. I don't know which one to use for what. It has a terry cloth pad, a foam pad, one that looks like a wool wash mit and then a very thin blue mesh type thing. Which do I use to apply the wax? Which do I use to buff it off? The directions don't say?? My truck is Black so the last thing I want to do is burn the paint of put huge swirls in it. Thanks you guys.
BTW, it has 2800 oscillations per minute, in case you need to know that.
