    If the DA is already out from doing paint correction, I'll use it to spread wax. Otherwise, I'll do it by hand.

    I find it doesn't take much longer by hand, if you factor in setup and pack-up of the DA / extension lead / pads etc.

    I use my GG6 along with a red CG wax pad to apply wax/sealants.
    Much easier to apply it thin and to save time.

    Depends on my mood and situation. If I am doing some polishing and the pc or flex are already out Def a machine. If I am using a liquid sealent or wax, use machine. But if I am using a paste wax like fuzion sovereign, and even collinite Def by hand.

    Almost everything by machine. The only time I don't is for tight and sensitive areas, in those cases I just take the pad off the machine to get in those spots at the end, or turn the machine off and move it around.

    It's just too fast and easy not to do it that way. I always have an extension cord and machine handy so I'm not wasting any time and the pad just gets an on-the-fly cleaning and put back into a plastic bag.

    Depending on the size of the vehicle I like to do it by hand. I've always felt secure doing it this way.

    Always up for new tactics though.

    After trying a DA polisher for this I'll never go back. Applies it thinner, covers better, and much easier on my arm. With a 6" pad it goes a lot faster too.

    Yup, machine for me. I could not believe how much time I spend hand applying before I got my GG 6 DA

    I solely use the softest yellow foam pad from Lake Country and setting speed #1 on my GG 6 DA
