I saw you recommended it and I am as rookie as you can get ...

Porter Cable is probably the most popular machine out there so it should work great. One nice thing about it is that you can get a small backing plate which will allow the use of 3 1/2 & 4" diameter pads. Allows for getting to small places.

There is a smaller backing plate available for the Flex but it is not that small and the smallest pad it can use is a 5".

One more useful tidbit; when you are using the polisher, throw the power cord over your shoulder. It keeps it out of the way and from banging on the car as you move around.

Post photos when you are done.

One more thought:

NEVER let ANY dealer or repair shop wash your car. They think they are doing you a favor, they are not.

Also, always have the car spotless when you bring it in. It is a visible sign that you care about your car. It is my experience that the attitude is contagious and they will treat you and the car with special care.
