I'm going to give the Zaino Z5 a try this weekend and was wondering if I should put it on by hand or use my Porter Cable 7424. Looking at the polish, it doesn't look like it has any cutting action at all so I'm thinking I may as well apply it by hand.....can anyone help me out?

I'm trying to get all of the swirls out of my black TA, and I figure that I'll use some Menzerna Intensive Polish to get the most out, Menzerna Final Polish to get the remainer, and then wrap up with the Z5 to fill in the stragglers.

 

I bet Sal at Zaino would tell you exactly what you need to know.

 

Most will tell you to apply it by hand, but it can be done by PC and a finishing pad.

Zaino products contain no abrasives, so they will not cut anything.

Prep work is the key to making your finish look its best, so do a good job with the Menzerna twins

 

On the bottle it says to apply it using back and forth strokes. If your porter cable can do that than go ahead.

 

The PC moves back and forth in a way.

If you are really interested in doing it by machine, here are a few pointers:

Thanks for the info guys, I'm going to go ahead and apply it by hand. I suppose the back and forth motion will do a better job at filling in any swirls than if it was getting applied in an orbital fashion.

Hopefully I'll be able to post some pics on Sunday

 

Remember to prep well
