Full disclosure here.. Recently my car was vandalized, and I was compounding feverishly to try to repair one of the areas, I figured I had nothing to lose at that point, (it was repair if possible, but knew most likely it would call for a re-paint) and was applying a great deal of pressure to a curved area on the rear deck lid, when I DID in fact burn straight through the clear with my DA.
Now, I was applying pressure to the point where I started bogging the buffer down, where typically the weight of the buffer does the work, so.... I retract my previous statement about it being close to impossible, and shall say "close to impossible if used properly".
I keep hearing the Junkman saying "technique trumps product 24/7"
Anyhow, shes going in for a complete re-spray next week. An aftermarket spray and clear should be a little more resilient than the factory finish.
