Most sources of video or TV series programming show folks color sanding and buffing finishes they they put on themselves so they know how far they can go. If you don't know how thick the surface finish is then you will have to be very careful. Rubbing or buffing through is not something you want to do. You have to be especially careful around any area like belt lines or the pin striping that may be there. Narrow areas, tight curves, and protruding edges buff through real fast. I still use the armstrong elbow grease method if I don't know how thick the finish is.

Any rotating device can buff but be careful what kind of pad you use. Experiment on something else for a bit before you go for broke.
