Thanks, Pefectlap - It took me about 6 hours with the Griot's to get the results I wanted, but I feel like it was worth it. Last night I finished cleaning the polish and crud off with the Werkstatt Prime Strong and the car looks spectacular. Tonight I'll seal it and once that's cured it's time to start waxing.

In fairness to the Griot's, it was the water spots that took the bulk of the time - ordinary swirls came out pretty fast.

Since this is my first experience with an orbital polisher, it's probably just as well I got one without a lot of torque. That probably limits the damage I can do. As I get better, I may move up to the Cyclo.

I really appreciate your taking the time to share the step-by-step info on how to tackle this job. It was kind of daunting at first, but you provided enough detail I felt comfortable going for it. I'll post a picture or two when I'm done.
