I assume its a random orbit polisher, if so you won't burn through the paint for a LOOOOONG time. What do you intend to do with this? Remove defects? Just polish and wax? We need to know so we can advise you on what you need to do now.

I'm assuming your buffer is something like this or larger?
When I first started out detailing cars, I used a $15 waxer/polisher, it's uses are limited to applying waxes and removing excess residue.
You have nothing to worry about till you get involved with high speed rotaries...

You can go any direction side to side, up or down, it don't matter whatever works for you..
