Be careful with those lambswool pads, they are more abrasive than foam pads. And my guess is that your friend's polisher is a rotary...?
If so, I truly hope you have used one before .

Yes, it is a rotary...
So you guys think I should just wax and polish by hand?

If you have scratches and swirls on the paint, they won't go away until you polish it (unless you use a wax/sealant/glaze that contains lots of fillers, that fill up the scratches. But they don't actually go away by this method).
So, if you want to take those swirl marks and other imperfections out, a rotary + lambswool pad are maybe the most difficult way to start, if you haven't done polishing jobs before. So I suggest you go with an orbital polisher and foam pads, if you're going to do it yourself.
Maybe I'm talking stuff you already know... sorry if that's the case .
