Looking for a buffing wheel for my drill or grinder to apply/remove wax on my F150. Can ayone recomend a good one? Or should I just buy a seperate buffer all together?

I would not want to use a drill and a grinder is a very easy way to burn through your clear coat. The above link is a good cheap option that will help with waxing but that is about it. If you want this (
PORTER-CABLE 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher - Amazon.com PORTER-CABLE 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher - Amazon.com
) will do the job a lot better and you can even polish the truck with it.

The best way to apply & remove wax is with your own 2 hands. Buffers can leave swirl marks & "burn throughs" on edges if your not careful.

What he said! Other than hand waxing a low rpm orbital buffer is the most I would use. There is a difference between a buffer used to remove wet sanding scratches and regular scratches, and then there is an orbital buffer.

Orbital - Applying waxes and sealers

Buffer - removing scratches and scuffs ( I love my Dewalt)

I wouldn't waste my money on an orbital (again).
I'd go with the Porter Cable DA that Melbeachmoose20 suggested.
