Apply with fine buffing/polishing pad and then remove with clean fine buffing/polishing pad?
To remove you would use a micro fiber bonnet that fits over a foam pad. It does work, but a PITA because it loads up with wax and you need to reverse the bonnet and change frequently. I find it easier to wipe off by hand.

Thanks. I think I will be trying the machine application approach next time.

I just spray an apc on them and tossem in the washing machine. Machine application is way faster and assures a uniform thin coat and ease of removal along with conserving product.
I did my entire GC recently with about a teaspoon of Fuzion. I use a small putty knife to apply it to the pad.
I did a big Lexus LS460 with about 2/3 of an oz of WG 3.0.
For me it will always be machine application. I use my Rupe 75 and a 4" blue B & S pad. Before the Rupes I'd use my PC with a 3.5" bp and same pad combo.

Always done all the detailing by hand. Until one day I decided to pick up the DA from Harbor Freight. Using a white pad and Finish Kare 218 its so simple and quick to get a thin even coat and almost no time. Now ordering the Cyclo pretty soon.
A side question what pad would I use if I would want to layer waxes or sealants. Klasse Sealant Glaze is going on my Challenger and want to do 3 or 4 layers.
