What is a good buffer? and Vac?

I like washing the TL with my hand but I want to get those buffering machine's Which are the best and what pad should I get for it?

Also What is a good powerful vac for the interior and trunk? hopefully somthing portable since I have no carpet at home so something as big as for thos tasks would not be good for me

Anything else I left out please let me know.

Porter Cable 7424. Buy it at Coastaltool.com for $119 with a 6" counter weight and 6" backing plate. They're in CT, since you're in NY, you'll get it in like 2 days.
Get LakeCountry 7.5" pads (6 for $45) at topoftheline.com
Depending on what you need, I'd get a combo of cutting/polishing and finishing pads.

As much as I trust Craftsman stuff I went with a ShopVac wet/dry vaccum for the garage. I found out later that all ShopVacs use the same filter number and not four or five like the Craftsman line. Th eone I bought is a QSP-12 or something like that. I think it was around $60 on sale during Craftsman Days. Does everything I ask it to.

Holy 5.5 year old topic batman!! Moving to Wash & Wax.

Plus, you may have better luck starting a new topic with more info versus bumping up an ancient one.
