Oh please. You really think he would have the clientele that he has if he had no idea what he was doing?
It's my understanding that he uses a super high tech type bucket that has a built in filter that immediately dispenses dirt and particulates to the bottom of the bucket where they don't interact with the clean water. I do agree that he probably knows more about the detailing than the average joe, but you do understand that he markets himself as an exotic car detailer that caters to an exclusive customer base. His customers don't care about price, all they know is that he uses a $10,000 wax so he must be good? He probably has great references as these guys travel in the same circles. Lucien notices the beautiful glow on Prescott's 2 million dollar Enzo and Prescott hands Lucien this guy's card. It's all about how you market yourself.
But back on topic- so the general consensus is that basic OTC waxes don't see any benefit from hand application? I could see almost where it is the same general idea as an electric buffer, in that the heat from your hands would work almost the same as the thermal intensity you derive from the buffing motion. My concern would be that the oil from your hands would negate any beneficial detail you would get from using your hands.
