Anyone know how to buff paint?

Well, since the angle grinder idea was a bad one, I noticed that the local parts house also has 6" and 8" foam buffing pads for drills. I have a high speed variable drill that spins up to 3200 RPM so that sounded just about perfect! I tested it out using the lightest buffing compound they carried (lightest cut). Seems to work well! I need to go back and get a medium cut compound because the light compound is working out the really tiny scratches, but the truck is covered with heavier clear coat scratches from brush and brnaches and junk hitting it while mudding.
