If its a DA (dual action) one then you have less of a chance of damaging the paint work.

Keep it moving don't let the pad dry out, of compound or wax.

dont press to hard, use the weight of the polisher and no more.

DO enjoy yourself and reap the rewards of a shiney car

Watch the junkmans videos on YouTube. Always good to watch somebody else first.
