Im sure you could just use any wax applicator pad. They always say.. "for best results use...." but I thinkn anything you feel comfortable using would work.

I'd use one of the little foam applicator pads to apply. Porter cable with a mf bonnet to remove.

removing a carnuba with a PC and a bonnet is asking for problems, imo.

too much chance for the bonnet to gum up and cause mirco marring.

a good MF by hand is the best way to remove most wax, especially a pure carnuba.
