Thanks for the quick replies guys. I watched all those videos and then some. left me more confused than before I started.

Nick- I am looking for safest, It's ok if it takes longer I just don't want to burn through the clear coat or damage it.

The last time I polished paint was back in the early 90's after I painted the 911. 3M had just introduced the Finesse it products and foam pads. Back then the hook and loop backing pad just screwed onto my angle grinder. I used the foam pad instead of the wool pad in the early stages of polishing so I didn't burn through my paint. Once I got a basic shine the finishing was all done by hand. I think I still have the 3M backing in my box.

I generally believe in buying the best tool for a job but considering this is something I may only use a few times not sure I want to spring for the Dewalt. It sure looks professional but probably over kill for me.
