I agree with Noah. You cannot damage your finish any more than the scotch brite pad did by using a fine polishing compound and a clean rag. If you don't like the results then go with the power equipment. BTW, detailers do the areas that a disk won't reach with a rag and compound, not power equipment.
I've gotten a great gloss on a clear coat on small areas with a clean cotton rag and a fine polishing compound from my FLAPS with no problem.
YMMV of course.
