If you can borrow a D/A polisher it's a relatively easy process. Just need good pads and product. If you're not after concourse results then DIY is fine.
A good wash, then a clay bar is not a bad idea to remove embedded contamination. If you do this, use lots of soapy water (for lube) with the clay bar.
If you get meguires ( or similar) product then it's pretty good and unlikely to do damage. A simple polish compound with the DA the apply some wax eg. NXT by hand and buff off with various microfiber towels. Again the meguires cloths work well.
All in all probably 4-5 hours work.
