Polisher with Zaino

I was wondering that since I have a polisher if it would help to use that with the zaino because i was thinking about gettings some. Its not one of the small orbital buffers, but a real polisher and i didnt know if Zaino was only to be applied by hand.

Sorry guys - bubble bursting time....

applying zaino with a polisher will be a huge waste of product. by the time you get the applicator wet enough and start getting som eon the car - you coul dhave done the whole car . . . remember you will only use 1 or 1.5 ounces to an application . . .

to remove Zaino - since Sal advises a nice soft 100% cotton towel - you have to put one between your buffer and the finish and makes lots of stops to turn and refold the towel.

seriously - it is no elbow work to apply or remove . . .

I will admit though - I do use a random orbit polisher with lambswool pad after I have applied and wiped off Z6 gloss spray.

In my opinion - it shines more - but maybe its just because i want to believe the pad makes a difference - and beside s, I always wanted to own and use one . . .

Oh Mannn - i wish you were my customer

knock yourself out with the polisher - but from what I am told - there wil be no noticeable improvement in finished look 0 if used to apply then remove . . .


try it my way maybe first - just use the buff pad after you have sprsyed and wiped the Z6 - see if that gives you a little better look

i am positive it did it to mine . . . (so I keep telling myself) - but I do kinda believe it

if you are going to use it to remove Z2 - remember - very soft pad and clean it frequently . . or keep turning that towel into new faces . . .

good luck - and let us know how it went (please)

I think i am going to try using the buff pad afterwards as you did homer.....and you have one for the same reason i do, because i thought it would be awsome to have some big tool to clean my car.

Yup - originally I told the wife it was to make it easier and faster - so I could get done sooner and spend more time with her

and I do think the lambswool pad "heats up" the Z6 - and makes it more level and therefore more reflective . . .
