My old Bosch died and this is stronger with better dust control.
It might be a bit too fast and could burn the paint. I would use a dedicated buffer. They are reasonably priced.
Make it dedicated for polishing polyurethane.
Yes, you can use this to wax your car and it will probably look great, it will also take a very long time with a 5" pad though. Make sure you get a pad designed for waxing, don't want to add scratches
And yes I have my holes aligned.

Hercules is their top quality tool. Warrior/Chicago Electric=Good, Bauer=Better, Hercules=Best.

You should connect it to a shop vac. Will drastically improve the dust extraction and will make sanding faster and sanding disks last longer.
Is there an adapter?

Depends on your use case. The Hercules is a bit heavier and will probably take longer to vibrate your hand to death, and won't bog down as easily. And it has the 10' cord. If you're using it a lot, probably keep the Hercules. If you're using it only occasionally, I'd probably swap for the Bauer and save the $30 to put toward something that gets used more often.
