You know me to well. The chances of me rubbing through is inevitable, but like you said,
What's the worst that can happen.

It will need some time to shrink back and cure properly first, especially if it wasn't baked.
The paints over 12 months old... is that long enough..

You wont rub through, go steady use the sanding block like a squeegee to remove the slurry and you will see how much peel you have left. keep away from the edges.

You can also add a little bit of detergent to the water.

I use car wash like Mequires wash its real slippery. Use the Scholl S3 put 4 pea size spots on the buff. Have squirt spray bottle of water, and keep misting the panel the compound loves a bit of water and it goes a long way. Its an easy compound to clean up but I still mask the car up a panel at time so the clean up is easier. When get the stuff from Waxit get the Poor boys quick detailer spray stuff . Use the orange lake country pad with the S3 White with 20 and black with the S30. Dampen the buff pad as well.

Sorry, there must be a block on midget porn, will repost in the morning.

If you google " abrasive isolation method" you'll see a video by Barry Theal that is very good for when you polish.
