Hello everybody new member here. I am here to try and learn as much as I can about auto detailing, specifically what are the best compounds / buffers to use. To be honest I am clueless on where to start. I have a black 2012 Mustang GT and sometimes I feel it is my mission in like to keep the paint looking fantastic. I have used Zaino recently and love the results, but from what I am told It can be a lot better with a quality buffer like a porter cable and some good compounds. My paint is in relatively great shape, I have some slight swirling I am beginning to notice even after having the car just a year and it been through two full zaino treatments. I think I need to do more so I am all ears. This stuff is very confusing to me and there is so much information I have no idea where to start. Anywho here a few pics of my car.

What he said!

I had a black 2010 Si that brought me here. I purchased a PC 7424, Wolfgang TSR, Polish and their DGPS. For me, I couldn't of asked for a better finish. Mike Phillips helped me piece it together and it was the perfect combination of equipment and products that gave me a flawless finish. It was super easy to do as well. I never once worried about damaging my paint.
Watch his videos that demonstrate use of the above products, purchase and enjoy!

And welcome to the forums!
