Default ...ya think?

I find removing the wax by hand the hard part. I just use the PC and a clean cotton towel, constantly changing what part of the towel is being "backed" by the PC. Quick and easy.

Autopia has a whole forum dedicated to "machine polishers," which essentially equates to the PC. http://autopia.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=105<ul><li><a href="http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=47">instructions</a></li></ul>

Default meh, I'm able to remove wax from the entire car with a single 16x16 MF towel

Having to mess with a pad on the PC seems like it'd take more time. For polishes I absolutely love mine.

This was with P21S GEPC on a grey pad with the PC and then P21S wax by hand.

Default No pad, no hassle.

Just a towel and the PC, as I said. Pads are needed if doing polishing/glazing.

(to clarify: you use a pad, but it doesn't much matter what type, and the same pad is used for the whole process - it's never used directly, just behind the towel)
