Looks nice 
, but I doubt that removing Zaino with the buffer really made a difference with the look. It's most likely in your head. Have you ever tried quality microfiber towels?

I usually just use a 100% cotton t-shirt but it doesnt always take off all of the wax. I dont know how to explain it, you'd have to see it but the buffer got it all off. Took alittle longer to do though.

You use t-shirts?? 
That sounds like your problem. You should check out www.pakshak.com and www.exceldetail.com for some nice towels.

If you use a tshirt solely for the purpose of buffing your car, it can actually be quite harmless. 100% cotton towels are one of the best things to buff a car with, so why should a tshirt be any different?

Thats what a duster is for. Towels work great becouse they are not smooth, so they pick up the wax instead of smearing it around like a t-shirt. Terry towels work great too. I would never use an electric buffer for a final coat though. Sure fore swirls and scratches, but not final. Tends to leave swirl like finish. But yours came out nice (from what I can tell from the pics). You use a good product. This combined with good technique will leave great results.
