You might want to do some experimenting with the Pro Polish.
Even though it is non abrasive, I remember some members having very good luck removing blemishes by using different pads.
The PP seems to be very pad dependent.

on the single stage paint, I'd stick to a polishing pad

I find it hard to believe that's single stage paint...on a new car...it may not have a clear coat...but it will have some sort of additive to the paint for protection...I was reading about this on another site...can't recall which one...I'll look for it

This is not the same single stage paint of the 60's American cars...in what I read its a single process that they put on the car...mean its the base coat and clear mixed together....eliminating one process...time and money saver and creates a harder finish.

I'm looking for the article that I read on it.

correct, but it will still give off color when polished

I wasn't disputing that!

I was clarifying what this single stage paint is in comparison to the older SS paints of years passed!

This is a much different paint

CharlesW,
You mentioned the PP is somewhat pad dependant. I've always used a LC white polish pad. Do you know of a better pad for it??
