I used to have a detail shop when I was 19. Buffing is fine, as long as you use the proper compound for the job at hand. For a new car they would probably use a light polish with very little abrasives. What people don't realize is that it can be a very messy job. I did a car with a heavily oxidized, blue Earl Scheib paint job, and I looked like a giant smurf when I was finished.
