Autogeek.net and properautocare.com are some of my favorite places to go for quality detailing products. Locally you might want to ask your local body shop where they get their supplies (it's probably local).
It is a Craftsman,(http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00910721000P?keyword=buffer) sorry I was looking at some other stuff and got mixed up (although I swear it was more at the store). Also I should have said that the car was a giant swirl before hand, it just didn't seem to get any better.

I used the second step cloth (dont have on the site ) with some scratch X and paint cleaner/conditioner
then used http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...keyword=buffer For the polish and http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00928494000P?keyword=buffer for the wax.

It did shine really nice but that almost made the swirls more apparent.

Couple pictures, hard to get it to not autofocus on the reflection but should be able to tell. (PS I Hate Polin, i swear i just washed it a few hours ago)
