I absolutely love my pc. I apply all polishes by pc. and most waxes by hand. I always remove products with a clean MF by hand. I think when it comes to polishes i am not willing to put in the elbow grease to get the job done. I have heard that anything that can be done with a pc can be done by hand. Check out some pics of Scottwax's work, he does everything by hand and it looks amazing. So Im not sure a pc is superior just far less work so you have more time for :beer
