Good words, you don't need to cut your paint with a rotary buffer and compound. Let the body shops use that crap. Just get a good random orbital polisher and a good pad kit and take the time to learn to use it. I have been using them for years and believe me when I say a kid can use it! You wont burn your paint either. Their are plenty of good video write ups on youtube if you feel inclined to learn a little about the Porter Cable, or other machines.
I think everyone that's into cars should know how to maintain them not just with a wrench
