"buffer spinner thing" is for polishing primarily, and if you have to ask, you WILL damage your paint. You can get wax removal pads, but usually it's not worth the hassle.

Turtle wax is decent IMO. Mother's Carnuba Cleaner is my favorite if you're not doing any prior prep. Meguiars is good too...I've always used Mothers though.

from what i have found from DSPORT (in a nutshell) make sure you car is clean, then apply the wax of choice do NOT do the old fashion circles instead go up and down gentely (when you do circles id there is ANY dirt on your car it will scrath the coat and you would be able to see that scrath from any angle but when you do it up and down it is alot harder to notice any kind of coat damange done.....but please make sure she is well washed before waxing...please for the sake of your car.

Thats not how it works, you need to search before posting. If you can't put forth the effort to try and help yourself, than why should we bother answering?

Turtle Wax Ice (if thtas what you're referring to) is crap. I use Royal Blue, but there are other decent ones out there, however none of which I've seen give the look of depth like Royal Blue does.
