Removing Swirls

The only way the paint booth will cost less than a clear bra is when the paint shop says Macco or Earl Scheib on the door. Yuk!

In three years living in Bug City, I've found that the likelihood I'll damage the clear coat with the use of green/SSR is pretty low. And that's on a Nissan...not known for particularly robust clear coat. In the meantime, the nose looks good all bug gut-free, and Earl Scheib can rest easy.

No, damaging is not the issue. It's the amount of clear coat that you are removing every time you use that combination and like you said, Nissan paint ain't known for its massive amount of hard clear coat. I wouldn't suggest that repeated practice at all.
