Finishmasters has a very good buffing compound. It is an all in 1 bottle of compound with three buffing pads. Worked better than the 3M system IMO. Start with a good cleaning and then go at it with the high speed with the aggressive pad. Then change pads for medium cut and final polish. Wax afterwards.

I use Aquabuff 1000 for most stuff and if you really want to shine Aquabuff 2000.

You can't beat it and trust me I've tried them all at least once! You'll need a power buffer though or else you can expect quite a workout. Harbor Freight typically has 7" variable speed sander/buffer that goes on sale for $29.00 around this time every year that works great with a foam buffing pad. With a little effort you can get it will look like a mirror finish again.
