Absolutely Not!

I use Meguire's M105 & M205, but there are others out there that can do the job. Please avoid using the 3M kit if you're new to polishing. It's too aggressive in most cases and can do more harm than good. You only have so much clear coat to work with. It should be a last resort, not your first option. It can get expensive, but a dual action polisher is a wise investment.
