Looking For Tips

Hey guys. Im pretty new to this site and I recently ordered some Tropi-Care show car polish to use on my Camaro. I also plan to claybar the car before I apply the TC. I do not have the claybar yet, but I plan to buy one soon, probably a Meguiars. I have previously been applying wax via a Craftsman polisher, but now Im not too sure if that is the best tool. I looked up some specs on it and it said that it operates at one speed, 2800 opm. Should I continue using this on my car, or should I do it by hand. I know that the PC is good, but I am a poor college student so I am on a tight budget!!!!! Any other tips for me? I may check into using a swirl remover if I see that there are some noticable swirls on my car after washing it. My rear bumper was repained about 2 months ago from a minor bump in my dad had in the vehicle, and that part of the car doesn't look the same as the rest. Im hoping that a good claybar job will fix this. Thanks for the help!
 
2800opm is kinda slow for polishing, but for waxing i would think it would be okay, but you can probably apply it by hand just as quick. i know glanz wax just wipes on then off in like 30 sec.
 
claybar isnt going to do anything to make any real noticable changes to the appearance of the bumper. Is there more/less "orange peel" on the bumper than the rest of the car?
 
I can't really describe what about the bumper looks different. My dad works at the dealer that did the body work and I was told that he got the car before it was 100% finished. They needed to buff or claybar the bumper or something like that first, but he told them it was good enough and brought in back to me. :(
