I have this machine...what do i need to do to learn how to correct paint to a great finish?

Go to the junk yard and buy several panels. Use the machine for about 200 hours. (No, I'm not kidding). THEN, you can use it on an actual car. Not saying that you can't use it before then without screwing something up bad, but don't come near my car with it! Seriously, watching Youtube and all is great but do not use this without some practice on things that won't matter if you screw up. Also, learn the difference between things you do with this that you can fix (like with a random orbital) and things you do that you can't fix.

will a 4 inch pad be compatible?

Can, I use a 5 inch. I usually buy DeWalt products but this one I don't really recommend. I would go for the Makita. This polishe has a problem with 800 then to 600. It's very troublesome with product flying.

Can this burn the paint like typical buffers?

The only way it will burn the paint is if the operator doesn't know how to properly use this tool. Try a Rupes or Flex DA if that is what you are concerned about. Thanks
