This is the system I set on getting. It's my first polisher and from all the vids on YouTube it looks amazing for the first timer! :innocent:

You have to use a lot of pressure which can knacker your arms. The foam backing is thin so the vibrations are more prominent. Your arms get a real workout. It's also expensive as you can work through the pads quite quickly. I used three large pads and one spot pad on my car. Took me around six hours of polishing too.
If you've never used a polisher before, I'd do two things: get a large scrap bonnet to practice polishing on, and start off with say a light polishing/finishing pad and finishing polish first to get used to working a polisher on a car. I'd argue that getting used to things and practicing your technique is much more important.
