The combination of products you selected would be a great choice to begin restoring your vehicle. You are right, the PC will safely remove the marring when used properly, with little to worry about further damaging your paint. From my experience with the PC and Menzerna polishes, if you can manage to screw up your finish with the two, you can certainly correct it. Most of the time it's just learning the proper technique for the PC and there are enough how-to guides and videos to read up on before using it on your vehicle. Here is our step-by-step guide for polishing with the Porter Cable 7424.
If you have any other questions or need a hand selecting products, please do not hesitate to contact me.
You'll get your finish back sooner than you think with the proper products and tools.

doesn't sound like you did any permanent damage. you'll do fine with a porter cable. it is almost impossible to burn through paint or leave swirl marks with a random orbital buffer.
