    This is my personal car and I'm about to drop some change on adams paint correction stuff. I don't want to waste time going to light, but also don't want to screw up the finish going too agressive. These were taken indoors. So what would yall recomend? (using adams line of products)

    i'm not familiar with adams stuff, just never appealed to me.
    Anyhow, I would go with just a polish. from what I CAN see, it doesn't look bad at all.
    No need to compound something that light imo. Just a waste of clear-coat.

    Or would Prima Swirl and Prima Finish be a better combo?

    biggest selling point would be ease of use... These below are of my other orange car ford edge (I have two. A: 2007 Mitsu Eclipse GT B: 2007 Ford Edge SEL)

    Adams Polishes are very safe, If your a newb at polishing it is a good starting system to learn the ropes and techniques. it is almost impossible to screw up your paint with their system :)

    Go with swirl and haze remover and Fine Machine Polish. do a 2x2 section and find out what yields the correction your after, once you do that move on to the rest of the car. My guess would be one good pass with S&H and 2 passes of FMP. I dont have experience with mits paint to tell you how hard or soft is so YMMV.

    Good Luck!

    You could jump right into our Swirl & Haze Remover, as those defects are going to require more than our Fine Machine Polish. Do a 2'x2' section, an see if that eliminates the defects. IF NOT, then jump deeper and get into our Severe Swirl Remover. Make sense?? You are correct in thinking "lightest method first." However, you aren't going to do anything SO aggressive, that you have anything to worry about!! In other words, you aren't going to burn through any clearcoat or anything. So no worries there.

    Ford paint is pretty tough stuff.
    Mitsu... Is probably softer than babies skin.

    not being impatient but I'd like to order some stuff as soon as possible. DD is having a sale on prima products so I was thinking about snatching them up. (doesnt have swirl but I can get that from autogeek). Cheap and I already love the products they use. Would my edge rate a heavier cut?
