Good luck!
Keep the speed, pressure, and heat low and don't chase perfection.

Which rotary did you order?
Good luck. Just take your time.
Keep in mind you are not removing the scratch but the clear around it, if its so deep and orbital will not remove it you may burn the clear right through.
If it is not obviously through to the base coat I sand it lightly with 3000 and water if it doesn't disappear after a light going over its too deep and needs a clear coat touch up. Be extremely careful using a rotary to flaten scratches (you are not removing them) you could end up with a lot more damage than a scratch and need a respray.

My advice is to practice on a couple of not so nice cars first. If you get carried away, you'll be sorry 
Do not use the wool bonnet! Using one of these takes a lot of practice not to burn the edges, use a waffle foam pad.
I just avoid the edges entirely with the rotary and pick them up with the DA during finishing.
You will be blown away by what can be achieved using low speeds (600-900 rpm) and a finishing pad on a rotary.
Here's my 2000 Mustang right after I buffed it and put the Saleen wheels on it. Don't use a wool pad, but the orange pad followed up by your DA with the black pad to remove the swirls.
Looks great Silverado12! I vaguely remember what it looked like before being restored. May want to try some Solution Finish trim restorer on the black piece in the hood scoop.
