Buffing Question?

I am curious to know what everyone uses to buff out the paint on your cars. This spring I am planningon buffing the entire car to bring out the shine of the paint and was just wondering what everyone uses for a buffer and what compound you use when doing so. Any help is greatly appreciated.

at work and at home i use a dewalt buffer and i used to use 3M compounds. however in the bosses never ending effort to cut costs we switched to a cheaper rubberseal compound. i was iffy at first but let me tell you this stuff kicks so much *** its not even funny. it completly blows and 3M and meguiers i have ever used away. it just getts such a better looking shine than the more expensive proucts and it gets that shine alot quicker and easier.
