Some Glazes work really well be machine - Clearkote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze and there Red Moose Machine Glaze both are awesome by machine, both produce better results by PC than hand.
Can take a day at least to properly de-swirl a car. If your prepared to put the time in to learn how to work the polishes properly get the Menzerna.
If you use the 83, chances are you will need to use the 80 after to refine and perfect the finish.
SRP you may as well apply by machine too -...
I imported my PC direct from Autopia.

Meguiars 83 and 80
Poorboys SSR Super Swirl Removers
Menzerna

Used first and the SRP will remove it, used before the EGP then the EGP will not bond.
As above take it back!
Pressure with one hand is fine controlling the machine aswell could be, but taped up it may work as long as someone can control the speed and apply polish to the pad for me!
