Polishing older single stage paint can be tricky. If you don't cover the edges with tape it will get you in big trouble. I found a few burn marks & tried to touch them up the best I could.
I was able to remove all of the swirls & finish down hologram free in 2 steps with the Dewalt DWP849X + Makita 9227C Rotaries. Some deep marks remain but it was not smart to go fishing for them with anything more abrasive than Meguiars M205 Polish on 6.5" & 4.0" green BS pads. The paint transfer on low speeds was enough to make me nervous. The next step was done with 3MUF Polish on black BS pads. I was still getting some paint transfer on these very soft pads. For protection I gave this German beauty 3M Performance Finish on her paint & lights!

Others: Exhaust Tips polished with #0000 steel wool then Ardex Metal Mania. Wheel Lips polished with Ardex Metal Mania. Tires were treated with Optimum Opti-Bond. Head & Tail Lights were rotary polished with green/M205 + black/3MUF + 3MPF.

I will close the sunroof to seal the tape around the felt & rubber. 3/4" masking tape + 1/4" fine line tape were used.

The hood was polished & put up & out of the way. This pic shows how much paint transfer I was getting! Look at that layer of red!

Lots of TLC & time was invested on the rear of the Porsche.

Qtips + M205 got what the 4" green pads couldn't get. A wedge of black foam + 3MUF was then used by hand.

Hunting for MILFS & restoring guards red single stage paint with my two favorite rotary weapons of choice!

I was still getting some transfer with a black BS pad + 3MUF but that's ok, it's almost done!
