Default Swissvax Concorso by hand

How are you applying it?

Applicator pad?
Bare hand?
Old shoe?

I refuse to apply a wax by bare hands. I prefer an applicator.

Me too, I was excited to apply by hand when I got my VW red a few months ago, promply went and caused a deep gouge because I forgot to take off my wedding band (my fault) but even after that it did not seem efficient with the hand, during winter my hands are dry and it just seemed to use more wax.

Waxing by hand is for wussies with Palmolive hands. Real mens hands will put 600 grit scratches in the paint.

haahahahaha I can't help it I have a paper pushing job

oh and I like both by hand and by applicator but the thing I enjoy about applying via hand is feeling every curve, turn, twist of the vehicle
