Unless you need to cut into the clear coat (which it doesn't seem like you do), go by hand. Also, I wouldn't use a rotational buffer if I were you, unless you have experience in the detailing business, because you may burn your clear coat if pressure and speed are not right. If you do decide to use a buffer, go with an orbital one (I believe Porter Cable is what most people use/recommend). I personally do everything by hand on my car. I use the yellow foam applicator pads to apply, and microfiber towels to remove.
