So lately I've been hearing a lot about doing test spots before determining what polish and pad your paint requires.
While I agree that you probably shouldn't just willy nilly start compounding/polishing, there's something I don't understand. Say once you've completed your tests and have determined that you need polish/compound x and pad y, that only means you need that polish and that pad on that particular spot on that particular part of the panel, and not necessarily the entire car. For example the hood might indeed need polish x and pad y, but you might get the same/comparable results with far less aggressive polish a and pad b on the doors, but that'd mean you'd have to do the testing routine on each panel, which first of all seems like a major drag, and second of all is not mentioned in any of the videos I've seen.
