Best machine buffer to apply wax? In general
What is a good machine buffer to apply wax? One thing that I dislike is a heavy machine which ends up making my hands tired they are about to fall off lol. I read about using microfiber bonnets to apply the wax. I am sure this machine would be able to apply and remove the wax.
Also what is a good machine to compound. I see a ton of reviews I am not looking to spend a fortune and again lightweight is ideal.

The Porter Cable 7424XP is reasonably priced and can do what you want. It is available in kit form with pads and product. If you want something with more power, the Flex XC3401 VRG Dual Action Polisher has forced rotation and will get the job done faster. You will pay 3 times as much for the Flex.

I like my old, trusty PC7336 and a LC 5" gold pad for all LSP applications. Speed setting 3-4 only. Of course i will say that after a good 4-6 hours of correction with my rotary, the PC feels like a wobbly feather!

I use the Flex 3401 with the black uber pads for applying wax or sealants.

If you are going to be correcting and applying an lsp, I would take a serious look at the Griot's Garage 6" DA polisher. It is in the same price range as the Porter Cable, is more powerful and has a lifetime warranty.

Agreed!
...but if you need a machine just to do that, well, I'd pick up a used GG6" or equivalent. It may take longer but a GG3" would also work for just applying wax/sealant

Here is what I did for a wax buffer; go to HF or Autozone and pick up a small one handed buffer. Take it home and rip the foam backing plate off, clean well with adhesive remover, apply velcro (hook and loop) to the backing plate and now you can use any 6 or 5.5 inch pad you want.
