    I'd say it depends on how bad the defect is and what level of correction you're trying to achieve. If you have any, throw some pictures of the area up so everyone can take a look at it. I have hand polished out some pretty bad spots, so it can be done. If you are just going to be polishing this one time I'd say give it a shot by hand and then see what results you get. If it turns out you polish more often on other vehicles it may make sense to by DA polisher.

    Re: Thin motorcycle paint

    They wouldn't show up in the photos (tried soon after). Will I be able to pull this off with the 6.5 inch pads? I have a Flex now. My only concern is the recessed portion of the tank.

    put a cleaner wax on it since your afraid of it.

    This will slightly polish it and put some protection on it.

    Painting is a fine art of the motorcycle i mostly believe in spray color of the motorcycle because its look is charming as compare to the paint you must remove the dust before the spray..

    Soon enough! It's finally over 60 here and I'll get some before and after photos. I ended up with a Flex Wolfgang kit back in late '13 that I need to crank up. Procrastination at its finest.
