I highly suggest rounding up a test panel before going at your paint, a rotary polisher has the potential of buring paint and instilling holograms if not controlled properly. I don't know the factory settings on your machine, but most polishes should be applied between 1200-1500 rpm. I would go about 1200 for #80. Remember to let the machine do the work. Don't try to move it around with just your forearms, but use your upper body to make slow and steady passes over the surface.

Make sure your have Real Player loaded on your computer and then click on this link,
How to remove paint defects - Watch online for free!
Watch this a couple of times and then go out and practice on a car that nobody cares about or take some extension cords and find a friendly wrecking yard and go out and buff on all types of paint with no fear.

Someone in-experienced might want to tape off the body lines.
You wouldnt want to run a rotary over such things.
I have read from several people to cut in the edges first.
A rotary is on my list of things to try out for sure.
I was watching American Hotrod the other nite, when they were making the Racing,show, daily driver corvette with 1000 hp and AC and cup holders lol, but they showed them use the rotary in a few different ways, pretty cool.
