Recommend a compound for polishing in new paint

[Grrrmachine]

did a spray repair job on metallic, and now need to polish in the new section to match the old. I was looking at 3M Fast Cut, but I don't want anything too abrasive. Can anyone recommend the right polish for me?

Also, I've got a rotary polisher and I'm not afraid to use it

I've always used farcala G3.

G3

I read on here that the Farcala stuff doesn't break down as you use it, so it's a bit old fashioned. But if it gets the thumbs-up from you lot...

G3 and plenty of elbow grease for me

G3 is horrible messy stuff, go get youself some 3M products or Menzerna, to be honest though if you're using it by hand you'll be there a long time and you won't get the best possible finish, ideally you need a rotary DA polisher, even G3 is supposed to be used with a machine.
I really don't understand the obsession with G3, it's the most aggresive abrasive polish in the farecla range and is not designed as a one step product, it should be followed with something like G10 which is a finishing polish, this removes the light swirls that G3 leaves behind, ideally the paint should then be finished down further with something like a glaze.

Sorry just re read you post, you already have a rotary, in which case buy the pads to go with the 3M polish.

I used to use G3 all through my carrear but now have changed to G6 Rapid and then G10 and finish with a Glaze.

I think 3M stuff is far superior, each to their own tho.
