Silly Q but do you go over them with just a polishing pad, or can you use polish on them?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

i really would recommend any product for what your trying to do. its more than likely you'll come away wasting money and not being satisfied, or you can inflict more damage.

Its just a fact that you need the power machine polisher to get rid of the swirls.
