I asked Octane Guy about single-stage paint a while back and he said to treat it the same as clearcoat. We polish our clearcoats without worrying about polishing them away entirely. That said, I haven't seen your car and have no way of knowing how much paint is on it (Octane Guy has an electronic paint-depth measurer to know exactly what he's doing). If you're using a PC, not a rotary, I think you'd be fine. Try calling Detailer's Paradise for some advice, they'll know a lot better than I. Or use Amigo as suggested and see if that works well enough for you.

I am going to polish my dad's Miata pretty soon. It's a 1991 with single-stage red paint. My plan is to start with Swirl on a white pad, rather than orange, thinking that the single-stage might be easier to polish than clearcoat. I can always go to a 2nd pass or an orange pad.
