many people argue that waxing by machine is better than doing it by hand or the other way around. I myself never done it by machine but I really want to. What do you guys think is better to do, by hand or machine??

Re: waxing!
It will be faster for you to finish the waxing process in a car.
Also for me is easier to apply a thin coat of wax with the DA because i just let the machine do all the Job. Set it up on speed 2-3 and a finishing pad.
And your good to go!
I vote for machine, but if you like old school ( i also do to )... thats ok.Ryan's Auto Detailing, S.A

Re: waxing!
For waxing you want to use a Finishing Pad, the black one if we are talking about the Soft Buff 2.0 serie of pads.

Re: waxing!
IMHO, it would be a waste of money to purchase a DA just for waxing purposes. The DA comes into its own for safe but effective paint correction. Waxing is a bonus. In any case, if you are purchasing Meg's pads, you will want to get at least three or four yellow polishing pads and a couple of black finishing pads. You would use the finishing pads for waxing.
I prefer paste waxes myself and I enjoy the aesthetic experience of hand waxing. But that's just me.Swirls hide in the black molecular depths, only waiting for the right time to emerge and destroy your sanity.

Re: waxing!
Applying a thin coat wax is a great bonus of the d/a. It is a time saver also.
Get the d/a for all of its benefits.quality creates its own demandComment

Re: waxing!
Heck even if you are only going to use it for applying wax, I still think a DA would be worth it. If you are going to regularly be waxing your car then it is gonna save you a heck of a lot of time in the long run. It will also make removing it easier because as the others said, a DA traditionally lays down a thinner layer of wax.
I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.
I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
Remove swirls my friends.Comment

Re: waxing!
It is much easier to apply a thin, even coat of wax with the DA, but I also love the therapeutic benefits of applying a quality paste wax by hand. I typically apply #21 via the DA and top it with #16 by hand. Best of both worlds.Jim
