Just give it a go. Slow and steady, a little pressure and let the DA do the work.
If your trying to remove a scratch it's actually safer with a machine as you work a larger area than you would rubbing hard by hand.
You proably only need a mild cut equivalent to Menzerna 2500, then a 4000-4500.
This will get rid of mild swirls noticeable under a sun/halogen lamp.
More obvious lacquer scratches I would go back to with a 500 if the above didn't clear them. It may not totally remove it but it will soften the edges to help lose it's visibility.
I started with a kit similar to this
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/machin.../prod_522.html so I've 'tuned' in to how Menzerna products cut, so tend to use them only for cutting. I then have various choices for wax/glaze depending on my mood and car colour.
Although saying all that my Scoob has never seen the DA. I've only used it on my Black SEAT Leon and White Audi.
