As for burning the paint, melting the rubber strips, headlights and bumpers etc, thats down to inexperience, done a few of each in my time lol (except a headlight but i know a guy that did melt a hole in one once), its down to a few factors, too much pressure, not enough polish, the wrong polish (inexperience) then wrong head and or too fast a head.

The only bad part about those polishers is burning through the bushes or bearings, but you should never do either, not unless youre going to be using it 8hrs a day 5/6 days a week under serious load

I should mention cutting compounds, the main ones was G4 and my fave, 3M Fast cut and your own fave polish to finish

That is a rotary polisher used extensively by professionals as it gives quick results - lethal in inexperienced hands. The DAS6 is a random orbital machine and much, much more forgiving, hence the go to machine in the amateur hobbyists market.
