Hi, I'm brand new to detailing.
I'm trying to figure out what tool and pad combo would be best to get swirls and some holograms out. I don't want a rotary, not for first time use. I know i should get the flex, but I have some other correcting to do. My windshield has some wiper marks on it. I want to use the lake country glass polishing kit to fix it. I don't think that kit will work with a flex. I wish I could afford both machines but I can't... So I'm thinking about the wolfgang PC kit.
From what I've read, I think I need to get 4 inch pads for the PC. Will the smaller pads (faster rotation) cause burning? I was thinking of getting the orange and white ones in the 4 inch size.
I am willing to get a flex if someone can tell me how to fix the glass without a PC.
I've attached pics of the swirling. The quality might not be too good. I couldn't get a good shot of the wiper tracks.
Oh, I have a few deep scratches in the paint too. Should I correct those before starting a detail?
Thanks in advance!

....yea, I know it needs a wash and some clay
