Wink Clean first...

...with a good wax remover/cleaner before you attempt any finer work. I would also recommend a good going over with a clay bar before final polishing. Lately I have been using 3-M Imperial Hand Glaze applied with a foam pad that really shines it out. I find the foam pad works better than a balled up cloth. There is also a product by 3-M called Foam Pad Polish that is gray in color and I also apply with a foam pad hand held but I am sure it would work just as well with a machine orbital polisher.

I have a Griot's garage orbital polisher and their kit for polishing which I find is very nice so you may consider that along with the others mentioned. I have not waxed the car as I am still in the polishing stage yet water will bead up as the surface becomes more smooth.
