i'm just afraid of burning paint or clear coat (by using a pad that is too aggressive, etc.).

That is certainly a possibility even with the Porter Cable, especially on edges and creases on the body, but you really have to overdo it.
Start with a Meguiars Foam Finishing pad, you can't do too much damage with that pad and a super fine polish. Clay bar first.
Use two pads one for wax, one for polishing.

as others have said you can burn through the clear on a sharp body panel. the pc is pretty safe if you start out with something like a paint cleaner ( to get your fee wet and feel the way the machine runs ) once you do that step up to a mild polish and pad. if Phil is close to you and you can got to one of his clinics that would be a good idea.

I think thats the best idea. Cost is like 500$ or less and you can learn alot on your own, play with the buffer and learn more about mechanical things too. Im doing that with my accent.
