sgtdday reacted to mc2hill in Ok to buff Buttery Wax with machine?
If you want to remove the Buttery Wax with a Dual Action/Random Orbit short throw machine (Porter Cable, etc, not a Swirl Killer or Rupes, or rotary) place a quality MF towel under a soft, clean foam pad (a white pad would be, OK, a black or red pad would be better), set the machine to a low speed, and buff away!
The short throw recommendation is mine, without experimentation. Adam used to recommend this method to remove paste wax, but I don't think it would work well with a long throw machine.

I suggest you consider the Spray Wax instead of Buttery Wax to make it easier. The Spray Wax is extremely easy to use, looks great and as the product details state:
Safe on paint, glass, chrome, fiberglass, plastic, aluminum, vinyl, etc. Anti-static and anti-streak formulation safely removes fingerprints and water spots, while protecting your finish! Extends life of current protection, or stand-alone paint protection. Use on wet or dry painted surfaces, in full-sun or shade!
I do believe all of those conditions may apply for a boat. I've used in on vehicles of different types and and ages and am really happy with the product. Using the Spray Wax after Waterless Wash allowed me to get a vehicle looking good quickly with little effort.

Yep. Good thought. Ceramic Spray Coating is another great and easy option.
In other words, we really recommend other choices besides BW...

Adam's doesn't sell a pad to remove it, but you may spend more time trying to find one than it'll take to remove it by hand. BW is super easy to remove with just a plush microfiber. Also, if you want long lasting protection for your boat that won't need to be done as often, BW is not your best option...look at a coating or Paint Sealant instead.
