What is the easiest polishing system to use with my Porter cable random orbital polisher? I am looking for both polish and pads. For my 2003 MCS I used Meguires M83 (m80 possibly) with their yellow pads. It was a compund with degrading particles.

Should I continue down that road or is there something easier, better, and faster. I do remember it being messy, dusty, and it would really be hard to get off of trim and rubber if you did a poor tape job.

Are they all like that?

Yesterday I noticed a lot of swirls on my only 6 month old car. I am sure it was a few quick detail sessions. At least pepper white is very concealing.

 

Reading through a couple of DetailerDomains posts this product seems like it may be what I am looking for. Anybody else use this yet?

I would say that the old rule of thumb applies here. You never want to use any more abrasion than what is required to fix your problem. It is probably wise to have a few different polishing abrasives available as well as a couple of different pads. Always start with the lowest abrasive formula and only increase it as necessary. Per your link removing 1200 grit sanding marks is pretty severe for normal paint. Just remember that abrasives are removing some of your clearcoat and you only have so much there.
That being said I have been using swirl, and finish on a white pad and has worked well for me.

any photos that you can post up to show us the imperfections?

that being said you may want to use Menzerna SF4000 with an Uber Green Pad or Sonax Fine Abrasive Polish with an Uber Green Pad
