Power tools Lowes $29 edit:SALE OVER

Buffing isn't a wet operation, but ac connections while washing wouldn't be too smart.

These are all CORDLESS though, so no worries except that the non orbital motion for sanding might not work for buffing. Buffers typically have a LARGE slower motion, and sanders a much smaller shorter motion.

What exactly is an impact driver and what projects do you use it for? I was thinking 'hammerdrill', but it doesn't look like one of those.

No, only the impact driver is cordless.

This is YMMV
It's a national sale.

You don't want to use an air driven buffer usually too fast and will burn the paint. You really have to know what you are doing inorder to buff out a car or even wax with power tools especially corners (since the paint there is thin, and easiest to burn with buffer due to amount of contact). The new paints are so thin and clear coat is all the protection you get. Also most dish washing soap is way too harsh for cars clear coat.

An impact drill of this type (battery powered) is mostly used for drywall screws or bolts that need a lot of torque. Air powered ones are the ones mechanics use to torque up your car lug nuts. Don't think they are interchangeable however.

An impact driver is what they use to take your wheels off at a gas station. Has a pulsating drive. It is not a hammer drill, which pushes in and out rapidly as well as turns.
