I use Meguiar's product line whenever I need to use this approach. If you have access to a buffer, makes the removal of a surface blemish somewhat easier. But it's not necessary in most cases.

Forgot to mention, in some cases, I will use a product like Prep-Sol to remove the wax in the spot before starting to deal with a blemish.


Is this damage below the clearcoat? If so polishing out the paint will require a repair of that clearcoat if I understand this process correctly, right?
