By hand. You have to apply very little product. I use an applicator pad, spritz it with detail spray to get it wet, and use about a dime size of the product per quarter panel. The damp pad reduces friction and allows you to spread the product better.
It creates a mirror finish, lasts longer than carnuba and is a polymer, which protects the paint. Once you add 3 coats, you are good for 6 to 12 months.
The big mistake is people apply too much and it streaks. Less is more. I clayed the entire car after my dealer detailed it (which looked like crap). The clay removes most contaminates.
I added one coat of klasse per week, washng the car each time to remove dust.
It looks like a mirror now. Some people prefer car wax which they claim has more of a glow, but I like that hard shine, especially with red jewel.
I even do the vinyl stripes and it does not discolor the plastic.
Never use circular motions, always straight lines and use microfiber towels. I studied detailed notes on this website and watched utube videos.
Good luck!
