Thumbs up Waxing W/a Buffer

I got a buffer to wax my car now & was wondering if there are any special ways to go about waxing w/it?

Kevin will correct me if I am wrong. But unless you are using the buffer with a polish, the wax will be no better off with the buffer. There are no advantages in using a buffer to apply a wax. Now if you were using a polish which contain a light abrasive then a buffer would help.

What polish should I go with? I use maguiers to wax. Don't recommend any zaino.

Thanks

I use Meguiars gold class wax. It's good, it brings out a deep shine, but seems to attract dust, and doesnt seem to last more than a month. I apply by hand with a foam applicator and remove with a 100% terry cloth. It reduces the visibility of a lot of swirls (depending on the severity of them).

Yep, exact same thing I use & do.

What I am asking, though, is what POLISH to use?

Thanks
