I have used a similar product,except I bought mine of eBay a while ago. I found these to be very hard to control the speed of the pads, I currently have a proper buffing/polishing machine. It's much easier to control the rpm, with the drill I found you have to push the lever/trigger at just the right pressure to have it at the desired rpm. My advice would be to buy a buffer.

This is the one I bought of eBay, it came with pads etc
You would never do a whole car with a little drill attachment like that, but some of you have seen me use mine. I made sure the (cordless) drill can do at least 1500rpm, and got some decent pads to use with it, and I use mine every day polishing slight scuffs, scratches etc on customers cars.
It's also not a bad size for headlights etc.
The SCA pads are likely to be rubbish though
My RO died a while back (overuse) and I CBF replacing it so this was the best option for the spot work I needed to do.
I tried hand polishing but on VW paint - nuppa. I don't detail liked I used to - new house has my interest these days so this was the easy way out for what I wanted to do. So far, has been perfect and the pads (with FI's CAP range of polishes) has been great.
Just be careful as with these drill attachments it isn't random action polishing so you can cause hologramming etc if not careful and at worst, burning if stupid
