This is where the polishing pads come in. White. Blue. Black. Using those pads that corrected (cut) clearcoat is ready for a polish to bring the shine back to the paint and remove very minor swirls that you are noticing.
When working inside please prepare a led light to help you spot such areas.
In your case I would just polish each section without cutting and that should fix your problem. After that jetseal/opticoat and your set.

Thanks... I will try then to just redo the M3 using the Deep Reflections XP One step polish with a white pad...
Do i need to do something to strip the M Seal back off? Or can I polish through with the white pad? Anythoughts of a rinseless method to strip off the sealant? As i dont really have much of a water source in my condo.
When I do my wife's VW CC I guess I'll just plan on using deep reflections on a white pad to prep the paint for sealant on the hood... If that doesnt work too well I will drop down to V36.
As far as led light... I was using my mountain bike led light... A 900 ish lumen Jet Light branded light. I think the white paint plus my LED was so bright that the shine/ glare made it difficult to see the swirls.
