I suggest you purchase an orbital buffer like a Porter Cable. Reasonable priced, easy to use and to learn. And it's almost impossible to get any damage with it.
I use Lake Country pads as they are very good and very popular, so it's easy to get tips that are usable straight away without thinking how to apply the tip to your own products.
The same goes with the Menzerna and Meguiar's polishing compounds.
