I like applying wax by machine. I think you get a more even coat and use less wax that way. The only prob is that the p21s canister is so small...so you can't just stick the pad in the canister to get wax...you'll have to "butter" the pad with some kind of putt knife or something.

If you have a liquid wax, you can apply it by machine or by hand. If you have a paste (which 2/3 of the waxes I own are), hand is quite effective.

Keep in mind the cleanup time associated with waxing or applying anything by machine as well. You have to bring out your PC, put on the pad, apply the wax to the pad, and then also clean the pad up afterwards.

If you do it by hand you only dirty 1 or 2 applicator sponges. P21S is really more efficient by hand IMHO.
