need help, noob paint correction, black

i bought a tl 04, black, the paint looks great in the dark but in sunshine the paint look horrible. the car has the circle swiles, small scratches, is like if it has been dry with a very bad towel. i have search this forum but would like to ask you a few noob questions.

do i have to use a machine for wax, polished & seal. which one should i buy?

if i have to use a buffering machine for the paint correction process, i have never used one. does it require any knowledge on how to use it?

what are the steps for this, i know the part about washing and claying. what's next?

If i do it, how often do i have to do it again?

If all else fail, does anyone knows a good shop in NYC that does paint correction just like you guys are doing. i have seen some examples and the corrections has been night and day differents.

please can anyone help me.

you clearly didn't do a good search because all that info can be found on this forum.

you do not have to use a machine to wax or seal, but you do need one to effectively polish.

a dual action / random orbital is pretty idiot proof but you should read a guide on how to use it.

after claying comes the polishing with the dual action in either one or multiple steps.

and you only have to polish as often as you fuck up the paint.
