I am actively looking for a handheld buffer to wax my car, but I have no idea what to get. Do you guys use one and if so what kind do you use. How many buffing pads do you use on each coat of wax. 
How do you know what is a good one to get and what RPM should I be looking for, and what setting do you run yours on?
