I'm no longer a vendor on this board, otherwise I would post links to several videos that show newbies polishing successfully for the first time, as well as customer testimonials where people polished for the first time with a rotary and got excellent results. |
Quite honestly and from experiences I've had when starting off with a rotary, watch your edges. The most dangerous areas for a newbie are tight places, or edges too steep to sweep the pad across. The edge of the pad is absolutely the most dangerous part of polishing if you're new to the machine, even if everything is properly taped.
For example, polishing a on a flat surface when you hit an angle that you cannot gradually "climb" with the rotary, and glide across the groove or crevice, can be burned if the edge contacts the paint for even a fraction of a second.
Heck, even sharp edges never gave me a problem. So, above ever watching temperature and time of surface contact...
Just watch your edges.
