Don’t spend too much time on one spot.

BMW’s have lots of creases and body lines, so higher speeds will risk taking too much clear coat off in these areas. The HF polisher is 680 watts and it looks like it comes with a blue polishing pad. so it’s not terribly powerful. You should be ok.

Be sure to blow out your pad after each section if you have compressed air. It makes a world of difference. Pads are reusable, so you can clean them with hot water and light dish soap at the very end, when your done. Rinse well.
