Hello all,
    It's time to put a nice think coat of wax of before winter and I am
curious, which is better, hand waxing, or using a random orbital buffer.
Does either do a better job than the other.  Any special precautions to take
using a buffer.  What is the best method (i.e. buffer on, by hand off ; by
hand on, buffer off)?  As we all know the Miata's paint is a bit frail in
certain cases and I don't want to do any damage while trying to do good!
BTW, I use the Meguires 3-step process.  Is it ok to use the buffer to do
the cleaner and the polish, as well as the wax (separate heads of course)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
