Definitely pick up either a PorterCable 7424 or the Meguiar's G110. You can use the same M02 Fine Cut Cleaner with that as you did with the rotary. Slow down your arm speed over the paint and let the combination do the work. The buffer trails you're seeing now usually come from using excessive machine speed, working the pad too much on the edge, and moving the machine too quickly over the paint.

Technique is everything when it comes to machine polishing.
