I will never wax my car again!!!
by hand at least. I've always hand waxed my cars, but I decided to invest in an orbital buffer and it's the best investment I've made. No swirls, and a perfect deep gloss, which if you own a red one you know what I mean. It's a biatch to get red to look right. If you wax by hand, I recommend spending $40 at Sears and get the 10" orbital buffer and give it a try.

You must not use ZAINO because “polishing” by hand is never a chore compared to every other wax product I have used over the last 20-years.

I've been considering getting a orbital buffer. Maybe I'll pick this up before I give my car the works.

...and, as stated already, with Zaino products you don't need a orbital to get a trouble-free EXCELLENT result.

I intercepted it on the way to the dumpster where my wife used to work.
It looks like HELL, but it’s great to roll around the car for waxing and polishing the paint & wheels.
I can polish 80% of the car while sitting on my ARSE.
LAZY people like me always come up with the best ideas

I got a trick knee from a bad skiing wipeout a few years back that bothers me when I stress it.

Zaino guys, Zaino! Forget the wax, forget the buffer! But definately get the stool to roll around on.
