I spent about 2 hours actually polishing the windshield and probably 4 hours removing the fine white particles which stuck on the paint almost instantly. I could hardly believe the mess all the way to the rear of my Highlander. I had no idea that the drill would sling the polish off the pad that far.
1 In these cases, you're an outpatient even if you spend the night in the hospital.  Observation services are hospital outpatient services you get while your doctor decides whether to admit you as an inpatient or discharge you. You can get observation services in the emergency department or another area of the hospital.
Updated April 20, 2016. If you have recently had surgery, or if you have gone to the emergency room and have been told you will be staying in the hospital for your condition, you may have questions about the difference between observation and inpatient hospital stays.
