Seriously whats with all the scare mongering? rotarys arent as lethal as people think! and the whole thing about dont compound dark cars cause youl mess it up you can mess it up just as bad as with a silver car you still get holograms etc etc. A dark car is ideal as you see whats happening easily and if you cock it up with holograms you correct with a less aggresive polish. Scrap bonnet is ideal practice
1) never polish a car via D/A or rotary in direct sun you dry the polish to quickly and cause dry buffing which increases the risk of burning through but even then youd have to have silly high Rpms or hold it in one place for a lengths of time. Megs UCP isnt very Aggresive most high street retail compounds are pretty safe the specilaists ones such menzerna power finish is totally different game
2)Always have one light source to see your work being done (if correcting pain)
3) Always use the least aggresive polish first with a less cut pad
4) If the polish dries up before being broken down use a quick squirt of QD
5) After every panel use QD or final inspection to fully remove any polish residue often enough holograms are mistaken for buffing residue.
