The thread pretty much sums it all up. My only additional advice would be to tape up the window molding and the windshield cowl that way you don't burn marks in them

Be sure to check out our PC tips and guidelines which you can print off the site for future reference.
I suggest to start with the least aggressive method of correction and only increase until you achieve the desired results. To get familiar with the capabilities of the machine, a blue or black pad and non-abrasive sealant or wax at speed 3-4 is a very safe way to learn.
For removing very fine swirls or holograms, a lightly moistened white or orange pad is very effective when using the Swirl Cutter. Work in an area of 2' x 2' and move across the surface about 1"/second with the speed dial set to 4.5-5.5. Keep a spray bottle of water to handy to light mist the area to prevent product dusting and dry buffing. Allow the micro-abrasive to break down until a very fine haze remains and inspect the surface.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
