How many of you use a MACHINE to WAX your vehicle?

Just got a flex 3401 and used it for headlight restoration on my wife's 2004 ACURA TL to get used to the machine. No more hand techniques for me... Way more fun with the machine! New to the forum so hello everyone!

A lot depends on the vehicle. If you have large flat surfaces it's much faster by machine. If you are fighting lots of curved surfaces, machines will frustrate you.

Machine/take off by hand.

More consistent and THIN layer.

I'd say 70% I'm using machine

I have by machine but I still prefer to do it by hand. Doing it by hand allows me to feel the contours of the body and work the wax in those areas. I work the wax in so I usually don't worry so much about high spots.

I only hand wax when I detail older vehicles like hot rods

It's the only way to go and it saves a lot of product too. Not to mention it takes much less time.

I started using a Cyclo around 1988. I could never do a car by hand. I do wax my Harley by hand though. Just because the size of the bike is manageable.

I've bever used a machine to apply wax. I thought about it a few times but just like that tactile feel of my hands on the applicator pad.

Were as with KAIO I always apply by mechine...

Depends on the wax, if it's possible to apply with a machine then i probably will. The only wax i apply with machine is a Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. Which is okay i guess? But not great, i'd rather choose Auto Finesse Temptation actually but some customers prefer a really cheap wax beceause they don't notice the difference anyway so...
