Anyone ever use this? I can't link it because I'm on my phone but I was looking for something when I'm applying waxes or aio. My hands cramp up and AG has a kit with it and some pads for 24.99. I was wondering any opinions on it? Thanks

It looks nifty. I've considered it before, but Mike P. convinced me to use my DA to apply waxes and sealants. I like to use the 4" Crimson Hydro-tech pad and I set the speed on my PC from 3-4.

I don't have a machine polisher. My handsure does hurt after washing and applying aio then waxing

I have something similar from autozone. It really does help. I say get it to make the job easier. Goes on a little faster too.

I'll probably still get one in my next order since the PP holds the pad better than mine and has a bigger more comfy handle part.

I was going to ask the same, after seeing it on the video "Man vs Machne."
I'm wondering if it's better than the CCS pads.

I like them. They help keep the pad flat on the paint (no tucking thumb under applicator). I use the 4-in cyclo flat pads. The LC 4-in spot pads sold at LC are taller so there is more of a moment arm but they will work too.

This is when I used a pre-wax cleaner.

Plus it can be used for spot polishing.

How do these work with paste waxes? If the don't work well it would still be worth it for the aio and I use 845.

If you use an applicator, it works equally well. The 4-in pad will fit in most wax container so you drop insert, rotate back and forth lightly to soften the paste and transfers to the foam, and then apply. You can use a larger pad too.
