I'm doing about the same thing. I have been afraid to try wool, though, because of burn through. With foam it is almost impossible to burn through, except on an edge. I probably should order some 3.5 inch wool pads, no local dealer. I have the hood and fenders done, they look ok, but not as good as the unbuffed paint, that is if it didn't have dirt or lint in it. There are a lot of small parts to do. I have a 3.5 inch air buffer I use for that. I think I have the Makita equivalent of your Dewalt large buffer. It's ok on large surfaces, but much too big for my small parts. On the larger parts I have a good orbital (DA) buffer that I use for the final product, after using the rotary to get most of the shine back. You might look up the nembers of your 3M products. I have a couple of them also, but I believe my Mequiar ones are as good or better, I don't think there is much difference between brands of the major companies, but there could be. Anyway, part of my current problem may be that I get the product too hot or too dry or both, then it adheres to the metal, and will not come off easily. I use alcohol to remove the residue and then start over. But getting the slight glaze off is difficult, and I can't quite get it back to the sheen I had before I sanded and buffed. My goal is to eliminate my dirt problem, an only have to sand out the occasional cootie the everyone gets, or else leave it alone, but I'm not there yet, getting closer though.
