And no, without a machine polisher, you will never, ever, get the results we are all looking for. A random orbital polisher, like the Griots, Meguiars or Porter Cable will never burn your paint. I spent 45 minutes training my brother-in law, who was terrified using a polisher on his new BMW and now that he has seen the light, will never hand polish again.

And no, you can't skip any part of the process on the first detail:

-Wash and strip old waxes with P21S Total Auto Wash
-Clay bar
-Tape off rubber seals and seams
-Compound
-Polish
-Seal
-Wax (Actually, after the Blackfire, you may see no need for wax- it's that good)

After that first detail, you can skip the compounding for when you really need it.
