Remember that polishing is easy and just common sense.

Always work a small area at a time, only about 2 ft by 2 ft so you can concentrate on your work.
Move SLOW! some folks move the polisher way to fast over the paint and they don't allow the polisher to get the work done.
Use SLOW, overlapping motions. (Up and down then side to side)
Keep your pad level.
Never dry buff! You need to work the polish so you get results but stop when the polish goes clear, before it dries.
Keep the cord over your shoulder and away from your paint to avoid scratching your paint.
ALWAYS use the correct pad, polish and speed combinations.
When removing defects, use a little pressure. Not enough to bog down the machine, just enough so you can remove the defects.
Never lift the polisher off the paint while it is turned on.
Happy detailing!
