RO90 and waxing/buffing a vehicle

[Holzhacker]

Spring has sprung, somewhat at least around here. With that its time to clean the motorcycle really well and get it set for the new season. I've thought about using the RO90 to wax and buff the creampuff.
So my question is: Has anyone actually waxed and buffed a motorcycle, car, etc. with the 90, how well did it work and what pads did you use, any guidelines to use/avoid?
Thanks for any info. Markus

First off I used Zaino products for the first time on my twelve year old truck.  The clear is peeling off the edges of the fiberglass bedlid but that's something I need repainted, but at the truck's age I'm not going to have done.  Besides the truck's paint is in good shape.  I used 4" Lake Country foam polishing pads for application.  The colors of the pads are different "grits" or the equivalent for foam.  I clay barred the trucks paint with a watered down zaino car wash, then used a green pad to apply Zaino's All-in-One then removed.  Lastly I used a black or white fine pad to apply very light coats of Zaino's Z2 Pro for the wax step.  It turned out very well and hasn't been that smooth in several years.  I'd keep the Ro90 at a speed setting of 1 or 2 and everything else is easy, yet time consuming.

In the below link look for Dan Clark's links to FOG and Festool Talk where he goes into detail on what to do.
