Lots of good info already added by Evan and Zach.
Couple of things....
Lots of options for compounds and polishes that don't micro-mar the paint or at least do it less than other products.
Pads
Fiber pads are more prone to leave micro-marring than foam pads as each fiber that makes up a fiber pad has the ability to leave it's own scratch in the paint. (micro-marring is at its core scratches in the paint).
Removed paint and spent product residue
As you're removing paint it builds up on the panel and the face of your pad. You always wipe it off the panel without even thinking twice about it but what about removing these two residues off the face of the pad?
IF you don't remove them you'll be grinding them back into the paint and these two residues can cause micro-marring. This is why I always say, work clean.
Someone mentioned residue control the other day ago... here's one article I wrote on this back in 2010
Why it's important to clean your pads often...
Here's another one I wrote back in 2014
Tip: Clean your pads often!
Both explain the problems and the solutions.
Remember... clearcoat paints are scratch-sensitive. This means that even though they are harder than traditional single stage solvent-evaporate paints like lacquers and enamels they still scratch easily.
Thus working clean by keeping your pad clean is important in order to avoid or reduce micro-marring or even deep swirls when using a rotary buffer.
Here's an article on this topic....
