removing wax with a power buffer?
 
ive gotten pretty good at applying wax with my buffer.
but everytime i need to take it off i end up doing it the old fashion way

which leaves me with a soar shoulder after all that FoMoCo metal:lol:
i have bought microfiber bonnets they are better but still leaves swirls
any help would be great and thanks in advance

The solution - Remove by hand.

Most of us who actually make some portion of a living detailing will apply by machine and remove by hand with a super-premiums microfiber towel of some brand. My personal favorite it the DF Towel Alpine Microfiber.

I use a large blue micro fiber cloth to remove.

If it really hurts your shoulder that much, especially only doing removal manually, /methinks that you may be using too much wax. I do my entire screw by hand (I have a power orbital, but I just prefer doing it by hand) and I do get tired/ sore, but with a few short breaks it isn't too bad.

what he said ..

invest in some qood, quality microfober towels .. they will do a very nice job, and not harm your finish .. (swirls)

also, anytime I hear anyone complain about removing wax by hand .. I have to ask .. Are you applying it too thick ? should not take much effort at all to remove by hand .. if you are having to work at it a lot, then you may be applying to too thickly ..
