In my testing a rotary and wool pad with a compound or single polish type product removes 3.8 to 4 microns at 1000 to 1200 rpm then backing down to 600 using light pressure then none
microfibre between 0.5 and 4 microns using a DA
i prefer to go via microns rather than mills
hope this helps

DO you know what the conversion is from microns to mills? It would help all of us non-metric guys

I finished the area off with DACP applied with a DA then topped off the finish with NXT. My final reading was still 3.9. The total mils of clear removed are .3, well within the “safety zone�.
I understand that many variables can play apart in the readings I got. The same procedures performed to another vehicle may not remove as much material or possibly more.
Things such as paint hardness, pressure applied to the finish while I buffed, the number of passes with each product, etc, all come into play. But this little test hopefully will give you an idea what is going on to repair a defect in the finish.
Now it is time to clean up the mess. I made.
So the only thing that took of any clearcoat was sanding,
