I borrowed a friends orbital. $40 at Pep Gurlz. I'm so asking for one for Christmas. Get the waxing done so much faster and uniform. Arms don't wanna fall off anymore.

I did the meguire's 3-step wax once with a buffer and it took me about 10 hours! I must be doing something wrong. I use Nu-Finish, can't tell the difference. Eagle One Wax as you dry every wash too, it works good!

Yeah, you did something wrong if it took 10 hours with a machine to do three steps. Meg 3-step by hand should only take 2 hours including a dawn wash.
And keep that Nu Finush away from your car. Good for 15 year old cars, not newer clearcoated ones. Well, if you can't tell a difference between 10 hours of 3-step and Nu finish, keep using what you like. I personally wouldn't use it on my own 18 year old car, though.

The biggest mistake people make when apllying wax by hand is using presure. You are coating the surface not scrubbing. Let the product do the work for you. I use a 4 step system, Meguiars #9, #7, #20, #26 and get done in less than 2 hours!
