There are compounds n polishes out there that don't work with heat.. they essentially chemical burn the paint down to an even level n r dubbed "risk free" for those who don't know how to buff. Now it doesn't work as well as high speed buffing but an option for those without experience. Presta compounds n polishes are way better them 3m imo .. oh and a good cleaner wax WILL make your paint shine it has grit to remove very very light imperfections I use cleaner wax after buffing to hide anywhere I miss or didn't polish out good enough
