If by machine..orbital or direct drive?
I can help you from there, also what color is the truck?
Why No sanding ? Stay off the edge just like buffing and lightly sanding with 2500 or 3000 makes it easier to buff . Been doing it for over 40 years that way on old school paint. Either way with a factory metallic paint you can and most likely will get some mottling .
