i will go with a portal cable , or any DA , like meguiar`s g110 , or g110v2 , or g100.
a polish pad , ( white from lake county , or yellow from meguiar`s)
use a final polish meguiar`s 205 is a good product.
set the DA at speed 6 , you work 2ftx2ft , up/down , left/right ,
the first 2-3 passes you put some pressure on machine after that just light pressure. do 6-7 passes.
remove the polish by wipe with a clean microfiber , wipe with alchool to make sure you remove the polish oils, and inspect your work.
if the defects are not severe , a final polish should take care of them.
good luck
