Default Best buffing compound?

I am looking for a good buffing compound to use with an orbital buffer. I was a professional car detailer for two years and the stuff I used to use was just awesome. It is called Power Pak by Car Brite. However, you can not buy this in stores. It comes by distributer to dealerships. I am looking for a mild abrasive compound to use and then be able to follow it up with a polish, then wax.

Now is this a buffing compound? I used a 3M polish that was pink before after I would buff a car. I can't remember the name, but that polish worked wonders on black paint.

I use Menzerna and Poorboy's with great success. There's also Einszett, Meguiar's, Malco, Hi-Temp, etc.

The Perfect It II is a "fine" compound. They also have a medium and heavy. I have had good results with it for minor scratches and imperfections in the paint.
