    Paste goes on by hand for me.

    Liquid goes on by machine as much as possible.

    Exerything I use goes on by machine in the garage with cool paint. If the weather is not overly warm will move out into the sunshine to assist in the flashing. Put on very thin as it is only the part touching the paint the acutally adhears. I then remove with a soft terry towel

    Depends on my mood. Usually it`s with a 3 inch polisher. When I feel like getting intimate I`ll apply it by hand.

    Straight out of the can, jar or bottle for me. Of course always following the manufacturers directions.

    PC - almost worth buying a DA just for sealant and wax application.

    Re: How do you apply wax

    I use my GG 6" random orbital with both paste and liquid. for the paste wax(FK1000p for winter protection) I scrape it out of the can and smear it on the pad like buttering a piece of bread with a knife shaped piece of plastic cut from the lid of an ice cream pail. And of course BFWD and BFGEP just squirted on the pad.

    DA whenever possible. Been using Menzerna Color Lock a lot lately, and it plays very well with the LC black pads.
