Need Some Help...

I just went out and bought a very nice and expensive variable high speed polisher and also a buffer for applying wax.

Now I need some advice, exactly what compound do I use to polish my cars paint and my Lexan T-Tops? Also, what kind of applicator should I buy for the polisher? I'm kinda partial to 3M products so if you can give me 3M part number I would appreciate it. Also, these are fairly light swirls, not deep scratches. In addition, my car does not have the original Van Nuys paint on it so does have a decent amount of clearcoat on it.

Thanks in advance guys! BTW don't worry, I do have experience doing this but not much in the last few years and on this kind of car with this type of paint.
