Cutting compound is pretty much liquid sandpaper mate. If you're worried about pressing too hard just try it on a not-too-visible area then adjust to suit. I suspect you'll do the same as me - be far too careful to begin with and take an hour to do half a square foot lol.

Worst case scenario; you rub a bit hard and thin the paint a bit and i'll help you respray the panel over summer. Pretty unlikely though, you'd have to rub pretty hard for a while to go through with 1200 grit.

This. Providing you keep it all lubed up, you'll be fine!
