Thanks for the advice. Since I've never done this before, I didn't know that I needed to apply pressure at all. I thought I just had to use the weight of the polisher. I'm going to experiment on the Jeep first and see what happens. If I mess up the paint on it, then no harm no foul since the paint looks like crap anyway...LOL. It's almost like having a piece of a car part from a junk yard to practice on.

If I weren't just practicing, I would not bother with the Jeep. I'd just put a layer of collinite on it and call it a day. As it stands now, all I have on it is some cheap Meguire's Paste wax.

I'll post up my results. It's unlikely that I'll be able to do it for a couple of weeks, but I'll post up my results on the main board.
