What kind of polishing compound?

What kind of polishing compound would I use with a buffer to buff out some imperfections in my paint? And where would I be able to find this compound? Also, would it be best to buff these spots out before or after I clay the whole car?

Would be good to know what color car he has before giving out part numbers. #39009 is for dark colored cars, #39109 for light colors. I got mine from autogeek.net.

I guess I should put a sticky about this as I have explained it before but here goes, the light and the dark are the exact same product formulation, the only difference is that 3M puts in a dark tint dye in the 39009 to reduce the nasty look of buffer sling in cracks and crevices of cars. So when I tell someone to use 39009 (which is the more common of the two and easier to find) it can be used on light or dark cars, does not matter.
