Many DIYers use them... It isn't as refined as a griots, but it gets the job done from what people say. I'd personally recommend a GG with the lifetime warranty, but that's just my opinion.

Thanks. Maybe something to start off with.

If I'm doing more than 1 car I'll use a DA otherwise I like the therapeutic value of a hand application of wax or sealants.

On my personal vehicles, my garage queen gets a carnauba wax and my daily driver gets a sealant, by hand. There is just something satisfying about applying a thin coat of product that spreads like butter and removes in a flash. It takes more time, sure, but when I do my personal vehicles I'm not in any hurry and rather enjoy the process.

machine wax with a DA.. it is faster and spreads product evenly for an easy on and easy off wax job
