Oh hell no. With the BEAST I would knock out HUGE chunks of paint - as large as makes sense for the panel being buffed.
See my article here,

For the polishing step, I tackled one have of the hood at a time.

I can't say it any more clearly - the BEAST is a BEAST!

No secret, it's called putting the time behind the buffer to learn how to make it dance on paint.
