A die grinder simply dosnt have enough power to spin those big buffs. When looking for a bench top buffer, please try and get something 6amps or higher. You'll thank yourself later on. As far as sanding, sand with a 120, 220, 320 wet, 400 wet, and 600 wet if you feel the need. You can use whatever tools you have like a jitterbug sander etc to aid that process. What you want is a satin type finish which is preferable before you start moving to compounds. Also may i suggest greaseless compound from caswell in combination with 4 inch spiral sewn wheels, a mandrel, and a hand drill. It saves tons of time over hand sanding. Good luck!
