Dual Action polishers (porter cable, griots, rupes) are safe for amateurs and will not destroy your paint.
I would google Adams Polishes on youtube, some great advice and demonstrations there. Another line of videos - Chemical Guys, not as detailed, but you will see a pattern of them all recommending the same actions. Autogeek and Meguiars have videos as well, if I recall.
As Scott mentions, products are a totally different discussion. Each detailer, amateur or pro, has their own preference of product, steps for work, and the in-betweens. Best way to learn is practice. As long as you do not use a rotary (not a DA polisher), your paint will be fine.
