I must have misread, I thought you bought a buffer for $20 at Walmart. I'm guessing you got the Porter Cable dual-action? DA's are great for beginners since you can't screw up the paint. I have that and their rotary as well. Rotary's are all business but require a bit more attention - probably what he's talking about.
FYI, Griots is all marketing and only so-so on products (not to mention ridiculously priced). Check out Autogeek for products! It's only partly about the buffer, more about compound/polish and pad choice. If you want some help with that stuff feel free to shoot me a PM.

I appreciate your offer and definately might shoot you a PM in the future. Check back in about a month to see what I can do with the PC and his 3" air buffer!

Just a few updated pics. Will try to get some when the sun is out.
Still need to do the front and back bumpers (remove from car), lower valence and smaller areas. I have some foglights I need to install and some misc trim pieces. Finally I have the shadowline trim I need to install...This is only with 1 coat of sealant as well. I still have the do another pass and then Carnuba which should make it "pop!"
...oh and drop it from 4x4 height
