pampos, when teaching myself to use the rotary I took a similar, though not quite such a conservative approach. If you use common sense, a product with little to no cut, use low PRM's, and use a finishing pad (or softer) there isn't too much to be scared of. Not to mention, if you do induce some marring or holograms, you can always clean things up with the random orbit (assuming you already own one)

Rather than using a wax, I got acquainted with the rotary by using a white LC pad with Poli-seal or VMHG. Anything with low or no cut and a good working time will be a good choice. Once I felt comfortable, I moved up to Menz FF2 and so on in steps. This way you learn to control the machine, how much product to use/not splatter, and you should be able to rectify any problems you encounter with the slightly less aggressive approaches in which you've already become proficient.
