I need a buffer/polisher, what to get?

[dseg]

I am in the market for a buffer just for waxing.
I have two fairly new cars 2014 Mustang GT and a 2013 Rogue.

I wash and wax regularly and I am currently hand waxing with:
Liquid Souveran Car Wax (http://www.autogeek.net/pinliqsouvwa.html)

I am looking at the Flex but I am not sure which model to get and what pads/extras to get. There seems to be too many options and "kits." Can someone help me out? I would like to stick with the wax I am using.

Below are the models I see, are there more? Is Flex the best way to go? Do I need a "backing plate"?
FLEX L3403 VRG Lightweight Rotary Polisher
Flex XC 3401 VRG Dual Action Orbital Polisher
FLEX XC 3401 VRG HD Orbital Polisher

I was thinking of getting this kit (http://www.autogeek.net/flex-polisher-kit-bag.html) with a Gold, Red, and a Black or Blue pad???
Or this kit (http://www.autogeek.net/pinnacle-flex-polisher-kit.html), because I need more wax anyways.

Skip the thousands I wasted and just get
Flex 3401
LC 5" Hybrid pads in Orange, White and Black
Flex 3401 4" backing plate
Menzerna 400,4000,4500
Menzerna all in one or HD Speed
That should get you started. I recommend 12 orange, 6 white and 6 black
I'm a fan of Souvergin Paste not the liquid. But use what your comfortable with.

Are you just going to be waxing with it? Or will you eventually be doing paint correction?

[Zubair]

You don't need a rotary or a forced rotation to apply a wax, something with a long throw will be much better suited coupled to a larger pad to cover areas fast.

PS here's my 2015 Rogue all polished and shined up.

PM if you'd like to and I'll share the system I used to achieve these results.

If you never plan to serious paint correction (just waxing or even an all in one) I would get a non-forced DA such as the the Griot's Garage DA. The Flex is overkill and will save money. If you have the money, then consider the Griot's BOSS.

So should I get the GG6 if I plan on not doing paint correction?
Griots Garage 6 Inch Random Orbital Polisher (http://www.autogeek.net/new-griots-polisher.html)

Griots Garage 6 Inch Random Orbital Polisher (http://www.autogeek.net/new-griots-polisher.html)This would be a very good choice. The lifetime warranty makes it an even better choice.
