If I'm not mistaken, a rotary buffer is recommended for this kind of product.

3M is all I use and any of their compounds can be used by hand although nothing beats a machine polish.

If you are going to use it by hand I suggest a soft terry cloth like a wash cloth. I have also had good results with one of the cloth-style wax application pads. Buffing by hand is very time consuming and requires at least a 12 pack.

I used it on my Brewsters once in a while. Apply with a damp cloth and a little goes along way. Dont load it up and buff normally by hand. Agree with comments above since manually is time consuming and a work out.
Killer product though and a common stocker.
