any fairly abrasive polish should be fine if used with a machine polisher

you should be able to see this link, might need an account though (its free and well worth it) when in doubt look at this guys threads, hes a pro detailer and his work is brilliant, does good write ups of his work including his products etc.

Such a vague question with tons of possible answers.

Basically...a dual action, DA, polisher with a polish with some abrasiveness (cut) in for light swirling maybe. Other wise it would probably have to be a rotary polisher with a combo or different pads and different polishes.
