Do battery power powered buffers work? As a younger man we were warned about burning the paint with excess usage. Is this still a factor. If not, is there a recommendation for buffer brand and or wax. This is on the factory lacquer paint.

If the truck is already clean and shiny and just needs a touch up, I'd buy the spray bottle Turtle Wax that you just wipe with a cloth.

Looking for easier method of waxing and considering a buffer.
