I purchased the suggested Porter Cable polisher and it is great. What is a good buffer to finish the job? And how do you care for the pads after using them?

You should use a buffer before you polish and only if the paint really needs it. The buffing after polishing should be done by hand. There are several opinions as to the best cloth to use. Most agree 100% cotton is best, but the new micro fibers are supposed to be excellent.

The new microfiber cloths are great. They are replacing the terry cloths, they have amazing results.
I buff the car by hand, apply polish, wax, etc. with my portal cable/meguiars. You dont need to wash the foam pads, just disloge the dirt/wax before the next use

I guess I'm thinking a different 'buffing'. You guys are doing it first. I was thinking of something to remove the cleaner, polish and wax after applying it with the pc,
