I use Adams products and had great results but my paint wasent bad just a few small scatches. Your defintly going to need to use a buffer to get your paint back to new again.

lol, isnt blizzard white a nissan titan color?

Get it buffed and detailed, should look better than the day you bought it.
I bought my porter cable thru autogeek and it works great.
oh yea, whoever buffs it make sure theyve done it before or else youll have burnt edges, melted trim/door handles, crazy swirl marks and all kind of crazy stuff.

Be careful with any rubbing compounds, as they can easily burn into the paint if you dont move the buffer fast, if you have any doubt in your ability take it to a detailer and pay'em. Much better off that route than re-painting a panel.
As for a buffer the porter cable's are nice, but if you only plan to occasionally use it, I would just buy a little cheaper unit. If you use it more than about twice a year though I would spend the money on the PC.

Meguairs, Mothers, Adam's polishes, and 3m are my fav. products. i drive a black truck and it takes alot of work to keep it looking good. you should pick up a DA i recomend the Porter Cable 7424XP car polisher. try out adam's wed site they have some nice detail kits that are easy to use, http://www.adamspolishes.com/c-12-detail-kits.aspx
