Uses for Menzerna Micro Polish?
I recently bought a Porter Cable. Since I have some light to medium swirling, I only bought the Menzerna Micro Polish (final polish II, their lightest polish) and a White Lake Country CCS Pad. Well I underestimated the level of polish I needed and it didnt do much for my car.
What can the Micro Polish be used for? Is it just meant to clean up hazing and micromarring from a more aggressive polish? can I use it as a pre-wax cleaner?

no unfortunately, this is the first time i've done anything with a PC and I wanted to keep costs down initially. I told myself I would buy the more aggressive stuff if I needed it. I do so here I am

You have a BLACK car, you are screwed!
ha..ha.. J/K!
You are going to want a Polishing compound like Menzerna Power Gloss &/or medium polish like the Menzerna Super Intensive Polish or SSR2 Optimum Compound etc. Then buy a LCC Yellow Pad and Orange pad to use with your Compound. Together with the right combination you really can correct your paint quite extensively. Start with the orange pad and if you are still not getting the results you are after try bumping up to the yellow pad. I love Black cars and I have one but boy are they a bear to keep looking great. No matter how careful you are you will marr the paint to some extent at some point. I am curently looking into an all in one cleaner/polish/protect product like XMT360 because it has some "filling" ability for the minor scratches between Polishings otherwise I want to Polish my car every week! By the end of the year I wouldn't have any paint left on my car
LOL! Like others have stated above your final polish is meant more for shine and eliminating very fine micro marring etc from compounding or very light spider webbing. It was not designed for removing heavy swirls and neither is the white pad for that matter. Good Luck!

If you like Menzerna then I would get a couple of orange LC CCS pads along with some Menzerna Super Intensive Polish (SIP) and that should be a comparable combination to the orange pad and Megs #83 I used. If the SIP leaves some micromarring then the Menzerna Micro Polish on an orange pad should work since you have already had limited success using the Micro Polish on a white pad.

They do contain a petroleum distillate (silicone oil) but it's a lubricant, not a solvent. They do not contain any fillers, glaze or silicones, but the lubricating oils and / or wax tend to fill the surface fissures, which is a good reason (if a reason is needed) to perform a wipe-down of the polished surface (Top Inspection, Isopropyl alcohol or PrepSol)
