I think the thing here is that the Jedi has already corrected his paint long ago so any machine polishing from there has been light . Non aggressive pads and compounds , putting small defects right. I'd say with the right method, compounds and pads then machine Polishing destroying the clear coat wouldn't come to mind. Best in mind that using a finishing polish has no cut so it's simply buffing the shine up albeit with a DA.
