Thanks! That's good to know. I think I'll go work on it some more.

They are not white, nor nearly as visible as shown in the picture. It just caught the light that way for the picture. In fact, unless you're looking for it, the defects are nearly invisible. However, once you see them, it's hard not to.

I need to get a PC and the right pads. I've been using a 2400rpm, orbital B&D with a wool pad, so I doubt I'm making very much headway.

Thanks again for the guidance.
No problem. I would be carful with a rotary machine. The correct pad and polish compound for heavy swirls can actually damage the paint! You don't want any hologram.

I have found (on my 4Runner DD) that the only way I can damage paint with a PC is to drop it onto the vehicle. Other than that, you're pretty safe. PM me if you want more specific advice on pads, etc.
