I have done several cars without clear coat. It doesn't matter if it's clear coat or not, every time you bring in machines and polish you will eat some of the paint in the process. Imagine going with the PC on your own skin ie, same thing.

Well back to subject. It's no big deal to work a paint if it hasn't been polished several times before, it's easier to be no1 to make it look good. Take your time and be aware that the paint is thinner on the edges of a door or a hood.

1) check with the manufacturer
2) Get a paint thickness gauge (if it reads 0, then you got no cc)
3) Do a search on AGO on your car and see what comes up
4) AFTER DOING A SEARCH, make a new thread and post your car's year, make, model, and color and see what people say.

Hope that helps.
