When I used to detail cars at a body shop, I used an ellectic or vibrating applicator. I was just curious if this is the way to go or if hand waxing is better. I could easily wax an average car in about 20 min and I would think it applied the wax more efficiently. Any comments?

The kind of product and brand name determines how it is best applied and removed.

I have found the best results with ANY brand of wax by using an electric "polisher" to APPLY the wax, then use a good towel to take it off. Always seems like the wax gets rubbed in better that way....

I personally do everything by hand and actually use my bare hand whenever possible. A polisher would do it quicker but I don't think it would do a superior job. Besides, you get better results going back and forth not in cirlces or in "random" motions like the polisher does. Also, you get what you pay for, if I was going to use a polisher it'd be one that cost me $$$ and one that I knew was well worth that $$$. Also, (you probably already know this) there is a distinct difference between a polisher and a buffer. I would use a buffer only under the most extreme circumstances.
