Its no contest as to which is faster, however there seems to be some silly myth that hand polishing is 'safe compared to harmful and harsh machine polishing'.
While it isn't totally untrue, it is definitely misleading. Under proper usage, machine polishing will not 'harm' the paint. If required, it is very possible for me to damage your car paint with my bare hands and yet restore the same damage with a machine. Somehow when it comes to detailing, most people simply forget to use their common sense when reading brochures and leaflets on grooming promotions and such.
What do we do when we encounter a scratch? We polish a localised area around the scratch such that the clearcoat is leveled. Try using your hand to polish away something like say, Audi clearcoat. I'd give you 50 bucks if you can do it successfully without creating more scratches!
Polishing is a process concerning the paint, polish, polishing pad, machine and the user. Of course there are so many variables like applied pressure, speed, user technique and such. My point is, its totally untrue to write off machines as 'harsh' or 'harmful' because they certainly aren't.
So next time you hear somebody who says hand polishing is better than machine polishing, you can conclude a few things. That person's a noob at machine polishing or can't afford a machine. That person doesn't have a readily available power supply. That person simply refuses or is afraid to learn machine polishing. That person is incredibly stupid.
Period.
