    I have little experience but I can tell that after using a DA polisher once, I will never go back to applying a sealant by hand. Less time, less effort, less product used and more even distribution. Even on cellphone pictures you can see how awesome the car turned out. Better looking than new!

    I apply sealants, and most waxes by my G220 DA. I use speed 3 or so, it's very easy to get a nice thin and even layer.

    Paste wax by bare hands (Yeah, it's a zen process for me), and anything liquid by DA with LC red pads on speedy 3
