Will #82 and a W9000 pad on a rotary at a slow speed remove light scratches, medium swirls, and holograms on a black corvette, or would the W8000 pad be a better choice? Would I also be better of first trying the DA polisher before going with the rotary to remove these defects?

Hey dragon,
Welcome to Meguiar's Online!
Well...it depends on your experience with the rotary buffer. In most cases, I would suggest starting with the DA using #80 Speed Glaze with a W-8006 Polishing pad. If that does not do it, I would move on to #83 DACP with the DA.
But with the rotary, if you have medium swirls, I would use the W-8000 Polishing Pad (rotary spinning ~1300 RPM)as Meg's #82 Swirl Free Polish is quite mild. You may be better off using #80 Speed Glaze, which has a little more bite, with the W-9000/9006 Finishing Pad. The #80/W-9006/rotary combo is the one I use the majority of the time!
I sometimes, depending on the paint's hardness, use the rotary (~1300 RPM), #82 with the W-9000/9006 Finishing Pad, for the final polish.
Cheers!

Thanks, I appreciate your comments! I don't know if this means my paint is hard or soft.....but just touching my car will put fine scratches & hairlines in the paint.
I have all 3 of the Meguiar's pads on hand as well as the #82 Polish, Scratch-X, and 2.0 Swirl Remover, so maybe I'll see what happens with the #82 and the 8006 pad for starters, and then get hold of some #80 and #83 this week too. I also have some Menzerna Intensive Polish & 3M Fine Cut but that stuff is supposed to be pretty strong from what I hear.Comment

Hey,
Always start off with the least aggressive product to see if it gets the job done, especially when dealing with black paint.
