When your automobile has swirls and fine scratches that can be easily seen from a few feet away then you will probably need at least a medium cutting polish to noticeably improve the clear coat. The medium cutting polish will buff down the clear coat to eliminate fine imperfections and restore a more transparent clear coat. This reduces swirls and scratches and creates greater optical clarity for the paint’s true color. When using a medium cutting polish you usually want to apply a light cutting polish after to ensure there is no haze left on the surface.
