I ALWAYS recommend to go as non aggressive as possible first. You have to remember that every time you polish you are removing small amounts of clear coat. If you go unnecessarily aggressive you are shortening the life of your finish overall.

I would go with a mid-low grit polish with a green pad to start. Not a glazing finish but slightly more coarse than a finishing polish. Most times that is enough to achieve the desired results but it might take more than one pass.

Do a test area first to see how it comes out and if you need to get more aggressive then move up to an orange pad and more course polish. You will likely have to go back over the area with the lighter combo to remove hazing/marring.

Hope this gives you what you're looking for.
that helps, thanks for the info!
