Trainwreck, are you doing this by hand or are you using an orbital......?
If you have a PC, what type of pad are you using with FPII....?
A little more information would be helpful......

im thinking about starting with FPII and a white pad...try the least aggressive route first.

What kind of pads do you have...?
SIP and IP are more aggressive and work well with orange and white LC pads.....

Ok good, you have a few options. If the swirles are minor like you mentioned earlier you'll probably be alright. White and and FPII is a good place to start.....
Do you have any other polish on hand.....?

Your right, that's pretty mild compared to your Menzerna......
Until you get some other options, your stuck with what you have bro......
Use what you've got and hit some panels a few times if necessary and wait until your finished to make any final judgements.....
You just might surprise yourself.....
Good luck.......:2thumbs:

least abrasive is for those who want to take their time and spend all day long...
I am not saying I use HTEC or PG with a wool pad on every single car, but for a majority of them, they need just a touch under it, but why spend 4 hours polishing with IP and an orange pad when I can do more defect removal faster with wool and HTEC, then still only have to polish one more step to removethe hazing and micromarrring I might end up with...
what I am saying is just get an orange pad or two, and get the car looking right, then hit the car with a white pad with FPII, then grey with FPII....the results will be better and faster than if you sit there all day and try to polish out everything with FPII and a white pad....
dont waste your time....
