That machine is pretty powerful for the money, add some pads to the mix (a few of each, Red is heavy cutting, Yellow light cutting/polishing) and you will be good to go. You would be running that on speed 4 - 5 depending of defect removal need.

If you are nervous, practice on a bonnet from the junk yard. Otherwise, start by working small areas, take your time and move with smooth and consistent speed. Remember to blow or brush out the pad between passes/sections. I would also recommend watching a few Youtube videos to see how it's done.

This is what I used for 10 odd years as my first polisher. These were sold by Waxit as an entry into DA polishing. Mine was supplied with dusty Menzerna polishes.
