Fresh buff and wax, 99 Z28 Swapped the hood because the paint was fading. New hood had some hail damage so I had it PDR'd.
Buffed the hood and it looked GREAT, fenders not so much.
Buffed the whole car.
PC 7424XP
Orange LC pads.
M105 then 205 on the hood and trunk upper surfaces.
M205 on the rest of the car.
Meg's NXT 2.0 wax.

Always try a spot with the least aggressive compound so see what it does before sending in the heavy artillery.....no need to cut more than you need to get the desired finish you are after.

You would be correct, most times you can get by like this. The upper panels take the most abuse for sure.

Tape of a 2'x2' section on one of the worst panels. Start with the least aggressive and if that doesn't achieve your desured results, step up to the more aggressive polish. Once you get that section the way you want it, proceed with that method. You may or may not need to do both steps on the bottom portions since it is a light color and its hard to see swirls on the lower portions anyway.

In all honesty, light never gets that low to show the swirls or scratches so I didn't even bother polishing it. If the car was a dark color I would've, but since its not, I didn't care to take the time. Lol.
