Porter-Cable orbital (corded). And a few dozen pads of different types and corresponding cleaners, polishers, finishes, etc.

And I still think one of the most important steps for deep cleaning is using a clay bar by hand.

On my wife's white car I also occasionally need to use iron remover. Look for tiny flecks of "rust".
