how else is a good way to test if the wax is still there and working?
i didn't clay first because i still haven't gone out and really searched for a place around here that's got a claying kit.

Best way to tell is right after a wash. You know the wax is still there if its slick to the touch.

I am strongly considering purchasing a buffer if it is recommended.

I only use my porter cable to buff. So... everything else like waxing, i do it by hand.
