Not 100% sure on the exact needs. I only ever did this to my own cars and only ever used a machine buffer on a replacement panel (didn't matter if I accidentally burnt the paint) so can't claim anything more than personal experience.
I would start with a dual mode machine. 3 buffing pads - 1 for each compound. At least 10 microfibre towels (50x50cm) for buffing and 4 or 5 foam applicator pads. Also a water spray bottle to mist the paint for clay barring and polishing.
For the chems, I just used Meguires stuff - seemed to always do what it was meant to. They also smell good...

Wash liquid, Clay bar kit, cutting and polishing compound, wax and sealant can all be bought from them.
