I give a nice handjob, waxing cars that is. I als got to tell you my arms are pumped after, always by hand. Did the Vette today for the first time with Meguiars gold class and I got to tell ya, that stuff is easy to use and looks freakin sweet on my JSB

use your hands meguiars nxt 2.0 works great and covers light scratches also very easy to apply and remove?one tip is ! the flat surface back and forth motion! side panels up and down motion? thin coats are better than to thick? remove with a fast motion and don't press hard on surface to avoid scratches?

You can't do by hand what a buffer can.
