View Full Version : Best pad for buffing wax?

I've been thinking about getting a 6" RAS for occasional sanding, & occasional waxing / polishing of my truck.

As I occasionally like to finish large w-working pieces in oil, with a wax top coat, I thought it might be nice to use the same unit for the final buffing. (not the application itself, of course.)

Does anyone do this?

Would 6" actually be too big? (I could instead get a polishing kit for my 3.5" Festool RO90 DX)

Is there a reason NOT to use a machine for this? (I assume one would only apply light pressure)

If this IS a good idea, can anyone recommend a REALLY good pad, specifically for buffing out Renaissance wax?

Large w-working projects with oil and wax only? Depending on the project that is VERY little protection; constant upkeep will be needed.

I use a car buffer 10" low speed to buff-out finishes.
