Ummm.... Ya.....
I do all of my paste waxes by Hand. I don't care for popping them out of the tub to apply them for a pad & DA.
I usually use the yellow foam applicators pads or the ultra soft red UFO pads.

I try to do everything by machine and I try to pop them out of the tubs. It is not always easy. I will do some wax over sealants by hand since the surface is quite slick.
This usually works best for the softer waxes like Midnight Sun. Now, Mothers is a hard paste and is supplied in a shallow wide tin so easy to get a 5-in pad into it.

Personally by hand. I really enjoy the feeling of apply a premium wax by hand. It's very relaxing and gratifying.
That said, you can do it by machine if you chose. Remember that Midnight Sun is designed to applied and removed wet. You don't let it dry. So apply to a few panels machine and buff off immediately

I do my paste wax by hand, its as easy to do that way as it is by machine.

When I am using Finish Kare FK1000p I use the machine so I can work it in good. Since it doesn't pop out of the can I cut a little spatula or kind of like a knife out of a lid from an ice cream pail. I just scrape it across the wax lightly and then smear little dabs in 3 to 5 spots across a red wax pad and go to town on the car. I would rather hang onto the machine on big area then have to go across it by hand 3 or 4 times to make sure I covered everything.

Because it is WOWO, applying by hand is the easiest/best method in my opinion. I use a machine for sealants/waxes that I have to put on and let haze for 30-45 minutes. So basically, when I'm doing the whole car before any removal starts (such as BFWD or Coll 845).
