Mike,
Maybe theres some confusion. Millercarbon suggested using Griots #4 “ultra fine polish”. I don’t believe that an ultra fine polish designed to remove fine swirl marks is going to Cut through the paint unless you’re really going at it.
I’ve updated my systems page and uploaded numerous pictures of my last 2 projects. One project was to repair and repaint a pair of Kef XQ5 speakers. I spent 2 weeks on it but ended up with a mirror finish with zero orange peel or swirls. I wet sanded with 1500, 2000, 3000 before going through 5 different polishes. My next project was wet sanding and polishing my Mini (can’t afford a Porsche, although I agree they are the best cars out there). I had horrible flames and pin stripes on the Mini that were professionally painted on the car. I followed a similar regimen in order to remove the flames and stripes off the paint. I attached those pictures for you to check out as well :-)
And LoL at change out the Bo for an A. Took me a minute to get it but that was funny. Still though, I doubt that you or I are going to teach anyone who has won a concours how to detail a car.
If you haven’t seen Ammo TV yet, you can look him up and see really how deep the detailing rabbit hole can get.
