See the porter cable thread that's stickied at the top. That'd probably be your best bet to get rid of some of the swirls and stuff. A good random orbital buffer with a quality polish like Menzerna's Intensive Polish II.

Read read read......Lots and lots of material there

but to answer you in short....porter cable 7336 or 7224 (SAME MACHINE) with a good set of pads and polishes and you'll be able to remove most swirl marks and some scratches

Where in Bergen County?
I'm in Paramus, but just moved here from Cliffside Park

I don't suppose either of you are familiar with a group called the Cadets of Bergen County?

Light compounding and a good orbital buffing should do the trick...
