Be very careful around edges and body lines with the wool pad. If you slip and catch an edge it will do damage. I learned the hard way so now I tape all edges and body lines.

Thank you. Are you doing any wetsanding before using the cutting compound?
What you suggested is a Meguires "heavy cut" (#12 on their scale) followed by a "light cut" (#4 on their scale).
The M210 I bought is even lighter (3.5 on their scale). It seems I am going too light too fast without any intermediate wool buffing. I think I need a "medium cut" before using the M210. They have one that is a 7 on their scale
