What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Take the pad for your polishing wheel and get it wet using clean water.  Wring it out so it remains damp, but not soaking wet.  The pad must stay damp through the polishing process to avoid damaging your car’s paint.  A dry pad will burn the clear coat on your car. Keep a bucket of clean water or a hose nearby throughout the polishing process. Put a moderate amount of polishing compound on the pad, then turn on the polishing wheel and press it into the paint of the vehicle.  You may also apply the compound directly onto the body of the car, then bring the polisher to it.  Read the instructions on the specific polishing compound you purchased, as some may have specific steps you’ll need to take for the best result. Once you finish one body panel, then move on to the next one. It is extremely important that you keep the polishing wheel parallel to whatever body panel you are currently polishing.  Maintain an even amount of pressure over the wheel as you move it back and forth along the panel you are working on.  Applying steady, constant pressure will reduce chances of damaging your paint. The polishing wheel will be spinning, so you need only move it back and forth. As you polish the paint on the vehicle, the polishing compound will swirl and smear, then slowly disappear, leaving only the brilliant shine of the paint behind.  Once you can see the shiny paint, you can move on to the next area and continue polishing.  Unlike waxing the vehicle, you do no not need to wait for the polish to dry. Don’t continue to polish shiny paint, as you may dull the finish. As you polish the vehicle, the polishing compound will begin to build up on the pad.  Stop polishing occasionally to rinse the compound off of the pad, then wring the pad out again so it remains damp and fairly clean.  Once too much polish compound on the pad it will compromise its polishing ability. Remember to keep the pad damp throughout the process. The edge of the pad on the polishing wheel moves the fastest and usually comes into contact with the least of the rubbing compound, so it poses the biggest risk of burning the clear coat on your paint.  As a result, be extremely careful as you buff around trim components that may come into contact with the edges of the pad.  Take your time and avoid pressing the edge of the pad into any part of the car’s paint. Be patient and rub polishing compound out of grooves the polishing wheel can’t reach.
Use a damp pad and a polishing wheel on the compound. Apply rubbing compound one body panel at a time. Move the wheel back and forth with steady pressure. Move on when the bright finish of the paint is visible. Rinse the pad as necessary. Be careful around intricate trim pieces.
