Need something good to buff out rear fender.

I got the fender removed from my 07 Softail, and have taken all of the extraneous hardware off of it. much to my chagrin, the stock seat has rubbed the clear-coat pretty bad, and before I can go with the solo seat, I'm going to have to buff this thing out, get it showroom finish, and get the swirl marks out. I pulled the protective tape off of it with the help of a hair dryer. What do you guys recommend, (and please don't say the girlfriends jugs). Although they do a great job of buffing my face.
