I started working with the buffer today. Let's just say that it's going well once I figured out the technique. Slow, though. I'll have pictures posted tomorrow evening.

While it may seem hard to wet sand fresh color, I am sure you will find that getting it smooth before you buff will give you much better results than buffing alone. Use lots of water and probably start with 1000 grit and then move up to 1500 and even 2000. Then it will take very little buffing to bring the shine. Also, are you using a real buffer or a orbital one? A orbital won't really cut much if any, which is why they are safe for non-pros. A real buffer will cut and smooth the paint but can burn if you are not careful. Anyway, sounds like you know what you are doing so keep it up, looking forward to the final pics.
