when the finish if that bad you could buff right thru it .
another problem is once you do get a shin back the car could be deferent shades of red .
the cars finish will also fade back again in no time so you will be polishing the finish all the time to the point were you will end up buffing the paint right off the car .
once the finish is dead it's dead ! and it's time to start thinking about a repaint .
what you will want to do is pick a polishing system and stay with that system .
in my shops we use the presta system but any system will work just stay with in the system you pick .
the detail guys in my shop do now use random orbit buffers untill they get to the polishing state .
to remove the oxidation that car has you will want a cutting compound and you will go thru buff pads like crazy . you can wash them and let them dry for days before you reuse them .
in my shop my detail guys don't like petrol based products because they will give a falts shine . we use water based products like presta just for that reasons . the other reason we like water based products is clean up . it's nice to just wash the jams with water and have the compound just wash away .
but like i said just pick a system and stay with that system .
