    Sonax Perfect Finish

    Can this be applied by hand or only by power tool?

    Thanks!

    Even if it can be applied by hand, you'd be doing yourself a HUGE favor by applying it with a DA (dual action polisher). Griots makes one for just around $130 and it is extremely safe/user friendly.

    You can apply it by hand if you want but you won't get the results you want before your arm falls off. If you are interested in getting a buffer I can help if you'd like. Just shoot me a PM

    you would really be better off using a machine.

    Griot's, Rupes, or Flex

    Pick up the the Griot's its the best bang for the buck, or the Rupes LHR12 for more power and smoothness
