It's important to remember that with a small foam pad you're going to bring a lot of cleaning and abrading action down to a very small sized area and this means it's very likely that it won't take long to remove enough paint off the surface to level the surface and thus remove the defect.
So focus on the task at hand!
In most cases you're going to need a compound, paint cleaner, swirl mark remover or medium aggressive polish and either a polishing pad or a cutting pad for your first buffing step, always follow the philosophy of use the least aggressive product to get the job done and do some testing.

Warning When using the adapter to connect the backing plate to a DA Polisher note that it's possible to get your finger next to the counterweight while it's spinning, so use a safe grip on the tool and keep your fingers away from the inside of the housing where the counterweight is located. I've included some pictures below to drive this point home.
Re: Using a 4" Spot Repair Kit to Remove Paint Defects
Can you use the Griots 3" pads with the 2-7/8 backing plate included in this kit? Will it have enough safety margin? I would like to be able to use my PC with the 3" pads and avoid buying a mini polisher.
