I never took a class, just watch a lot of videos. If you do decide to get a polisher, mare sure its a DA polisher. The one I use is proven to not burn the paint. At lease if you don't hold it down in one section for 20 minutes lol. It is the Porter Cable 7424 xp. I attach a 6 inch backing plate to it and use it with some of Meguiar's Polishing pads. Here is a link if you want to learn more: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002654I46/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002654I46&linkCode=as2&tag=perfautodet0a-20
Now that I think about it, Chemical Guys also sell like a complete kit that looks like a reasonable price. Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UW1IQU/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003UW1IQU&linkCode=as2&tag=perfautodet0a-20
I actually got mines from a local store and got rip off. This old lady sold it to me for 180 with pads only... bummer.
I think all you really need to do is clean the area well, clay it, mask it, and start with your polisher depending on the condition of the clear coat. edit: I can't spell lol
I just bought this on Amazon:

Used it today,worked REALLY well.
If you want a paint correction including a chip fill and compounding, you’re going to pay a lot more than $200. I’d recommend getting a Porter-Cable 7424 and pads for about that amount of money and watching a bunch of YouTube videos. It’s nearly impossible to screw up the paint with that tool.
Paint chips are much harder and require a very special skill set. However, the skill is learnable and doesn’t require any special tools.
Unfortunately, a DIY approach is the only way to get a good result anywhere near this price point. I don’t know of any reputable detail guys who would touch this kind of job for under $1000.
Looking for a polisher kit that includes everything (or most everything) to get started. Just going to be doing my wife’s and my cars.
I was looking at this:

Looking to spend $200 and under if there are any other recommendations. Thanks much.
