You guys are expert, so I will go whatever you recommend.
The white pad is a polishing pad. You would use this pad with a light polish to clear up hazing left over from more aggressive polishing. This polish will j-ewel the surface to a brilliant shine. Aaron from Edge also shared with us a technique he uses with the white pad to remove wax residues. Once the wax is ready to be removed, you remove it with the white pad on setting 5 and it removes wax and buffs the paint to a high gloss. Don't count out the yellow and green pad. If you are like other weekend detailers, your neighbors and friends will very quickly see the results on your own rides and be asking you to do them. You may need them yet.

if buffing by hand is exhausting, your putting the wax on too thick most likely. you need a very thin coat usually, dont slop it on. personally buffing with the PC is harder than buffing with microfiber towels...occasionally i try to my microfiber bonnets but i always come back to hand buffing

I agree. I tend to paste on the wax and sealant. Lately, I have co-workers, relatives, and friends have asked me to detail their cars. So, I have decided to buy a PC to expedite the process. Hoping to leverage the PC to buff of the sealant/wax instead of using by hand.

If the 4" pads are available, the 4" blue is plain out awsome for applying wax/sealant. I can layer down a thin, perfect even layer on my truck in a fraction of the time it takes by hand. The 4" blue is so soft. 6" Edge pads rock, but I don't like the size for applying, the 4" absorbs the right amount of product and stays prepped.
