Hey guys. thanks for commenting.
I prefer a rotary to a DA polisher as i believe that you get a better finish with a single action.
I use 3M pads and use 3 grades:

I found the meguiers Ultimate compound to be pretty good too, but i think that the 3M stuff is better and easier to use.. ie green bottle for green pad, blue for blue etc..
SRP is NOT good with a macine polisher and it is a real lazy mans polish.. it has cleaners and fillers in it so whatever you go over you remove and replace with the last layer of SRP....
HOWEVER... for a 1 stop shop type polish at a really reasonable price.. i think it is great...
The reality is that most people will not want to spend 2 days cleaning a car... so a decent wash (2 bucket method of course.. preferably with grit catchers).. use some traffic film remover, a quick clay and buff it up with some half decent wax/polish and you will be just fine....
For those of you who really want to delve into the dark arts.. then check out this website...
