Default Bad waves and swirl marks. Is solution 3M swirl mark remover and Random orbit buffer? Which Buffer?

I had some rock chips touched up in preparation for a clear bra. But after the first wash I found swirl marks and waves. The detailer was quite nice and appologetic and will re do it. but he uses a circular buffer and McGuires Mirror finish.
He'll use a random orbit buffer if I get one. W

Which one should I get?
Is the Mcguires as good as the 3M?

Default I did a "rebadge" ;)

note that the A4 is where the 1.8 used to be....

Reasons are, I LIKE the A4 badge, not really a stock 1.8, and I enjoy letting those I pass know it was done by an A4, not an S4.

And while a debadging looks awesome on silver and Pearl white, I think a black car needs something on it.

Default Whoa, very nice...what do you use to remove the wax from the black plastic trim?

I've tried using a number of different things including Mother's Back-To-Black, but wondered if you knew of anything better...
