Same except the pads get dirtier from oxidation and abraided paint. So just keep the pads clean. Some SS can be pretty soft in comparison to modern clears.

Speed depends on polish too. So to just say xxxxx RPM's is not giving good advise. Check what your polish requires and try a test spot from there. Different polishes break down differently with different RPM's.

Without a tough clearcoat, you may be working with more delicate edges and ridges. Definitely be generous with the masking tape.

My recent experience as a newbie with Griots and a couple different polishes:
DA Practice on 'The Beast': 73 Nova
If it's not listed, I polished with the Griots on 6 and applied the wax on 3. Dr. Oldz is right about doing a test spot to be certain with your products. Also about pads gumming up quickly. Have a bunch and/or plan to wash every panel.
