Advise Needed for Waterspotting

The car in question is a 58 220S Sedan with the original paint (marroon). I am noticing slight almost blush like spotting in the paint. I'm afraid to get too crazy buffing it without knowing what to use to try and not remove any paint. The paint is still good but it's thin in spots. The spotting looks kind of like what you might see from acid rain damage but the car isn't out in the rain. I suspect this paint is a lot more sensitive to being outside in the sun with water on it. What would be best to use to try to minimize the appearance of these spots? A glaze? Some kind of real low abrasive polish? What would be the best machine to use to do this kind of work. I have a 10 inch orbital type buffer that I've used to remove wax from the car. Can that be used to buff too? Is any of the stuff sold by Groit's garage worth the heavy price, in particular the Porter Cable buffer?

Any advise greaty appreciated.
