I want to strip any old wax off my car and from some of the research I've done, sounds like polish may be the most effective. If so, can I reasonably expect to be able to do so by hand? I'm also going to clay. Will claying remove any old wax? Thanks.

Re: Ultimate Polish By Hand?
Hi Taco Cat,
Both the use of a clay bar and our Ultimate Polish would remove any existing wax on the surface. Ultimate Polish is a cleaner/polish. It has mild cleaning ability to help remove light swirls & refine the paint surface, and because of these cleaners, it will remove remaining wax.Nick Winn

Re: Ultimate Polish By Hand?
Absolutely OK to work by hand. We prefer to use a soft foam applicator pad like our X3070 Soft Foam Applicator Pad to apply compound, polish or wax by hand, and a clean high quality microfiber towel to remove, like our X2020 Supreme Shine Microfiber Towel.
Feel free to post further questions.Nick Winn

Originally posted by tdelliott View PostI recently purchased the CCS Euro Foam Polish Applicators to apply Meguiars Ultimate Polish. Which color applicator should I use? Can you use 1 foam pad to do the whole car? I have the orange, white, red, and gold pads. I thought I read on some post you had to use a lot of pads. I was hoping you could clean these up and reuse if necessary.Nick Winn

Re: Ultimate Polish By Hand?
But if you live in the place where you don't have an access to power supply and you don't want to adjourn your hobby you got to work out your popeye's hands. Can anyone recommend a good cordless drill with about 2800 and up rpm multi speed for DA system?

I would apply polish with white one, the orange pad is for a compound, the red is ridiculously soft I don't use it but it is for wax.

Man versus Machine The human hand versus Meguiar's G110! This Lincoln has moderate swirls and also straight-line scratches running from front to back,
