And - you can hand apply the polish. Machine application will do a better job of removing any swirls but HAND application will get the job done.

This will work fine. Simply hand apply like you were hand applying a wax only work small sections at a time, about the size of a 16" by 16" microfiber towel. After you apply, gently wipe off and then move onto a new section. Overlap a little into the previous section.
I'll try to make a short video tomorrow showing how to hand apply polish.

Because you're going to polish the paint you could - but if it were me - I'd probably use dish washing soap.
Then hand polish or machine polish
Then use the BLACKFIRE Paint Prep
Then install the coating

Feel free to drive over and watch in-person.

Just to note,
This thread was in
Product reviews by Mike Phillips
Because it's not actually a "product review by Mike Phillips" I've moved it to this forum group,
Detailing 101
It's an "expiring move" so it will show up in my review forum for another 4 days and after that live here permanently.
