Huh? Right, they don't conduct heat the same as metal panels, but that just means that you do them a little differently.
I've *NEVER* had a problem machine polishing plastic panels, let alone fiberglass. Never. Not on factory paint (freshly built or not), not on repaints (freshly done or not). Not with a rotary, a Cyclo, or a PC. Via PC/Cyclo it's easy; just a matter of feeling the panel after every few seconds of polishing until you learn how it goes (which is how you learn to do it by rotary too).
Paint can have defects. These can cause problems. And, well..[stuff] happens. But to never machine polish plastic panels...
