Polishing First Time with 3M products...how many passes?

[Basshog]

I am using a compound and a polish from 3M for my swirly 05 Dodge Ram with a Makita PC. How many passes should I expect to do to take our the swirls using the compound and then the polish? I know this is hard to judge without pics of how bad the marring is but I would rate it as light to medium.



A rough number is fine, for example 1-4, 8-12, etc.

Do you mean makita random orbital? Or makita 9227?

Also, which specific 3M products are you using? (Part number or the full name on the bottle)

Depends if you do slow or fast passes. I prefer slow passes with compounds.
