Should I use FI-II on my whole car?

Sorry I don't have pic, but my car is a very light metallic blue color, and because of that the swirls aren't as easy to see as on a car with a different color. They're still there though. I'm wondering if its ok to use FI-II over the whole car, not just a spot here and there. I know its always best to start off with "the least abraisive product", but I just want to get rid of the swirls not try 4 different products to see which one finally gets rid of them.



I'm thinking of going over the car with FI-II, then Meguiars #9 2.0, then with GEPC, and then of course wax the car. Is this overkill? I know its kind of hard to tell without any pictures, but the swirls aren't that bad. Then again they're probably not bad because they don't seem to be because of the color.



I'm just worried that if I just start off with the Meguiars #9, it will remove a small amount of the swirls and fill a lot of them in, only for them to come back.
 
I agree completely about not starting off with something as light as #9. Your plan looks pretty good. I say go for it. FI-II is not that agressive in the big scheme of things especially if you plan on taking good care of it afterward.
 
Yeah, what stanger99 said. I wouldn't make a habit of using FI-II, but it's not too aggressive for infrequent use. If I can clearly see problems, then I use something stronger than #9.
 
I was in the same boat last year. If you know the swirls are everywhere, I'd at least do a section with the #9 and see how it does. Use that to decide what the rest of the car needs. I ended up FI'ing the whole car and then SMR. This year, I just SMR'd.
