Restoring paint color tips?

Well today I went to the car and got a little bit of rubbing compound/polish turtle wax brand and buffed a little spot with it. Turned out great!
The color really pops now.
In case any of you didn't know but my Dart is RR-1 (Daffodil Yellow).
The Yellow looks really good.
The car was painted about 15 years ago.
Then it was parts 3 years after that for about 12 years.
So I guess it just needs a good buff to bring the real color out.
Any suggestions on how to buff the car quicker then doing it by hand?
Any buffing products you guys will suggest?
If I need to buy a buffer I can do that. Suggest one to me.
Any buffing pads that you all suggest?
