Yeah, there is a little more to it than that. If you are trying to remove medium to heavy swirling you will definitely need more than a polishing pad. Cutting, polishing and finishing pads are needed to achieve the best results. Knowing the right pad and polish combo, the right pressure with the right speed with the right technique, this is what is needed to achieve superior results. You also have to consider the type of paint being worked on, as they are all different, and the right amount of polish for the pad as well as how long to work the polish. Polishes with diminishing abrasives differ from polishes with non-diminishing abrasives. Not working the polish just right will leave the finish in a less than desirable state. Also a polish or compound that works well on paint "A" may not work as well on paint "B". Just a few of the things I've learned over the years.
