1) Since the paint is only 2 years old, will the DACP plus the #9 be too harsh?
>>> The agressiveness of DACP can be tempered depending on pad selection and how much pressure you apply while using it. To give you a gauge, I use it with a yellow Meg pad with considerable pressure, and it hardly makes a dent on any of my light scratches. Note though that I have a polyurethane paint job so I may be more of the exception. DACP on a yellow pad for me works only like a fine polish. Not that agressive at all. It does bring a good amount of gloss to the surface when used with a polishing pad. I have a red car and in all cases, I can go straight to wax after DACP. No hazing or micromarring left behind to be tackled by a finer polish. I just glaze after DACP, prior to waxing, as a matter of preference.
2) Which pad should I use? CMA orange, yellow or white?
>>> Haven`t tried CMA pads, but generally speaking, try a polishing pad first, then move up to a cutting pad if necessary.
3) Can you ease my mild concerns?!
>>> It`s pretty safe and very forgiving. Don`t worry. Just work it until dry and to the point wherein you`re almost buffing out the product. On another point, you may want to take note of geekysteve`s comment that the new batches of DACP may have been re-formulated and has been a PITA to remove. Haven`t experienced this myself but you may want to take note of this.
