Will be working on a brand new 2017 GT350 in the early spring, light paint correction needed, what would you EXPERTS use?
So I checked out my buddy's brand new 2017 Ruby Red GT350 this past weekend, outside in the cold sun as well as inside the garage with LED lights. Outside you could see very fine marks, maybe from washing. I did manage to spot a long mark on the drivers side rocker panel, as well as a nice mark on the drivers side front fender. The rear wing is black and I believe its black gell coat and its hammered, along with the gloss panel between the tail lights. Now for the later I was thinking Meg's UC by hand to start but what would you EXPERTS use on the paint to get out very fine marks that look like hair almost. Here's what I have in my collection but I'm really looking for a nice, 1 step more than likely:
-M101
-Meg's UC
-Griot's machine polish #2 and #3
-blue Cyan pad
-GG orange pad
-LC orange pad (dimpled)
-LS pink pad (dimpled)
Machine is my trusty GG6
I should also mention this car will be clayed and chemically decon'd before I polish the paint. Afterwards its going to have Opti-Coat Gloss Coat applied to it. This is going to be a track car as well as a car to take to cruise nights and cars and coffee, so he wants it well protected right from the start. I'm open to listening to anything you guys have to say, I wanna nail the finish on the car to make it look its very best!
Thank you in advance everyone

Another vote for Essence if you want to get it. It really, REALLY makes the color pop. I did this car last year after someone at the dealership had their way with it:

As usual Klasse, test-spot.. :-) Check your results. I wouldn't bother "by hand" You'll find really quick that the Metalic Flake Ford paint is pretty stout.
As for the RIDS you mention, you may not be able to get those out... do your usual 6-8 passes, if they're still there... he'll learn to live with them.
I'd go machine all the way. Again, test-spot, least aggressive, check the results, if good, move-on. If not, go up in aggressiveness on another test spot. Comp the two.
I just did my new EB Mustang w/ Griot's Correcting Cream - could have used Essence because the car had no swirls or scratches. But I figured a light compound would be good to give her a polish in prep for CQUK.
