Take a close up picture of the area and post it up for us to see.
And don't be scared of a machine polisher. I went straight to the Flex dual action polisher. I had used cheap black and decker orbital buffers from walmart but always burned them out after a few uses. Got the Flex for Christmas from my girl this year and LOVE it. So easy to get rid of swirl marks on a well maintained car.
I don't see how people could get burn-in with this. You'd have to push really hard or use a really aggressive compound and pad. Even if you do that you can easily remove it by stepping down in pads and polish.
I know a lot of people recommend going for a portercable first, but I would skip it. I now do detailing jobs on the weekend cause I can get even pretty damaged cars (including a friend's bmw that had swirl burn-in from someone using a rotary buffer wrong) looking nearly brand new in a day.
I'd also recommend the Adam's pads if you go with the Flex. I had used a competitor's that came with my Flex as part of the gift for the first two cars. After switching to the Adam's pads for the 3rd I noticed a big difference in how quickly the fine polish was able to get the last of the swirls out. Seemed to get a better overall sheen too compared to the grooved pads that came with my kit.
