nice and easy. I'm getting more serious into detailing my own vehicles. How much more difficult is it to use a high speed buffer than an orbital buffer?

Thank you... With a high speed buffer, there is more of the risk in burning the paint.

that spot looks really shiny, would it be an idea to do the entire vehicle to give it that shine all over? or would just the wax give you the same effect?

You will remove some of the paint while compounding, so if it isn't scratched, I would just use wax.
