Pros to using a DA to apply:
faster
thinner coats
looks cool for the neighbors (seriously, this is sometimes my incentive...)
Cons to applying with DA:
Can induce swirling if you arent careful
uses more product because the pad absorbs more
less accurate/precise
Pros to removing with the DA:
faster
looks cool
Cons to removing with a DA: (this one is important)
-pads/bonnets typically load with product, thus the product forms little grains that abrade brand new swirls into the paint
-just another opportunity to induce more damage due to the speed/temp.s
-Less accurate/precise
Pros to applying by hand:
more accurate/precise/control
a LOT less chance of inducing any harm since you have better feel/touch
Less product used since the pad is smaller and doesnt absorb so much product
Cons to applying by hand:
Slower
sore arms (if having done more than one or if you are old... )
Pros to removing by hand:
WAY safer (you feel buildup more and can combat it/rectify the situation)
More control over the direction of removal
More accuracy around corners, more effective
towels ALWAYS have more nap than bonnets, thus even safer
Cons to removing by hand:
a touch more work
slower
...I think thats it...
So...decide for yourself. BTW-- as for time, it's not that much of a difference in the waxing stage. In the prep stage, a DA makes all the difference in the world, but by the time you get to wax, you are essentially putting the frosting on the cake. (or is that the Hyperdressing??? )
That help any?

That helps tremendously! I am old, so I believe I will apply wax with DA and remove by MF and see how that works for me. If I take enough pills I might be able to do all by hand but I could pass out...

Truck goes to Line-X this week, after that, I am going to ask Ryan to come help me as he owes me...then we can both work on the new wax.
