RC,
I have a 40 footer with full body paint. It is now 5 years old and I wash, clean and wax and then paste wax over it twice a year and do the front cap four times a year. I do it myself and do not use a buffer. Meguiars now has a buffing pad that attaches to a drill. Suppose to be the best. Be careful with buffing pads as heat can cause some serious damage to the finish. To the 64 year old, you are a kid. If you are going to do all that work, be sure and buy the best products to clean and wax. Seems silly to all that work with cheap products.
