Yeah a DA is prob best but imo its also down to pad being used, when i first got set up i got a load of old panels and just played about to know the boundaries of the pad and burnt through the clear coat quite often until i bought a waffle type pad that has holes/bumps in to help cool the paint surface, i found the 3M to be great as they are colour coded yellow top with yellow pad etc etc, the last few years i've started doing a 2000 wet and dry flat back before starting which really does give good results

This pic is 12-14 month on from having a 2000 flat back (some say it will fade in time)
