I am a novice at buffing as I just painted the car using BC/CC system, and I have been buffing the clear coat. My advice is the get the right tool for the job. I bought a Harbor Freight variable speed buffer. I also bought the backing plate with the foam pads. I tried to use a hard rubber backing plate with a lambs wool cover, but it burned thru at an inside corner. Use the right foam pad and keep the spped slow. IIIRC, keeping the speed under 150rpm is safe. Its a little slower than running at higher speeds, but far safer. You don't want to burn thru the paint at this stage.

The custom paint guys that do lacquer often tape the really sharp edges in initial buffer stages (after color sanding). Once you take the tape off, you then blend the line at very low speeds and/or by hand. As long as the flat surfaces are buffed well, the lack of just absolute mirror finish paint at the edges isn't that noticable (and a whole lot better than color poking through clear or primer poking through color).
