I have a makita rotary with adjustable speed from 600 (for buffing painted plastic (bumpers etc) to 3000 but my speed is usually 1100-1600 rpm. My buff pads are Edge classic 7 inch which is the industry standard. Edge 2000's are a bit more expensive as they are double sided. 3M waffle pads are excellent too. Love using the rotary and the results you can get from them but working by hand is what I do most of the time. Lake country's are another quality brand Stayer (italy) and metabo have some superb rotaries.

We use
Green Stuff (very aggressive cut) & G3 (Mid/heavy cut) with the Meguiars Soft Buff Foam Cutting Pad - W7000 Quick detailer (mid cut/polish) & various other polishes with the Soft Buff Foam Polishing Pad - W8000 And 3M Glaze (swirl remover) and some wax's with the 3m black waffle pads. We also have a Varible speed Matika Buff which stands up to the work very very well. Considering the lil sucker usually does about 6-10hrs work each day (2 detailers 1 buff and about 4 full cars a day). Will be looking at the same model when this one dies, or we pull our fingers out and actually buy a 2nd one...
