I'd ask at a paint shop first, if you're gonna keep going over and over it with a DA you might need to reapply your clear coat/top layer or whatever it's called

In all honesty you will be fine with a DA regarding clear coat damage if you are sensible... it's a rotary you would need to be careful with - even then if you take it slow and a section at a time you will be fine.

Or just try it by hand first to see if it has any impact,cant hurt to try

DA will get it out fine if you cant feel the scratch under your nail...

Ultimate Compound and a couple of passes should do the trick

As said before, I would only worry if you were using a rotary, the DA is so safe.

I'm gona give it a go when the weather is decent hopefully il get it out just a bit unsure using it don't want to damage the paint

It will be fine. I've machine polished my car with ultimate compound and the meguiars da polisher plenty of times. Normally do about 4 slow passes to get rid of swirl marks etc. They really don't take off much of the laquer.

I just love the car that much I don't wana risk it but I will definitely give it a go as soon as the weather stays clear no point just yet as it's on and off raining constantly got loads of new products to try spent loads lately just need some good weather to give them all a try

I just love the car that much I don't wana risk it....

DA is really really gentle mate, I love my car too bits but Machine Cleaning is as easy as just washing the car.

If you are that worried though, just get a clean foam applicator pad and rub a small part of it with some ultimate compound and see if it removes it.

its not very deep i done a bit by hand most of its gone tomorow providing we have good weather im goin to go for it with the machine iv got loads of new products to try but im just goin to stick with meguiars ultimate compund then run over it with some finishkare 303 glaze as iv used these before il leave all the new products iv got for my other car to try them out less risk
