wheb useing the dual action polisher and compound are you supposed to move the machine around real slow .same as using polish?

yes, that is one of the keys in removing defects. if you move it too fast, you aren't letting the pad/product combo work in too it's full potential as it needs to break down...

here's a great guide... How-To Use The Porter Cable 7424 6" Orbital Polisher
