I know they say you can apply it by hand, or by a pc or such, so here is my question...I applied a small amount by hand, worked nice for a by hand application, but I want to try it by machine. The only "buffer" I have is a black & decker "buffmaster" buffer and polisher. Will that work, or do I need a pc? Thanks in advance.

It will probably work, but it won't be as effective as a PC.

nasty99WS6

it should be better than by hand, correct?

Just an FYI - Zaino doesn't remove the swirls; it just fills the scratches and "hides" them. If you really want to remove the swirls in your paint, get the Porter Cable 7424, Menzerna Intensive Polish and Finishing Polish. It'll amaze you!!!

Actually this is the new zaino swirl remover/paint cleaner. It is an abrasive, not a filler. This does remove swirls. But I have heard good things about menzerna too.

OH! My bad!! Sorry, I didn't realize that Zaino had come out with an abrasive swirl remover. I've used the Menzerna on my car and the difference was amazing. It was like I had a new car again!

You want to make a car look like glass???

1500 then to 2000 grit sandpaper (wet sanding of course!)
3M FineCut compund (machined)
3M Trizact PERFECT-IT Polish (Machined)
3M Final Glaze (By Hand)

Sounds like alot of work and it is but do a little at a time like i do. I break it down into a few days but man when it was done I have never seen anything so perfect. Looked like the car was wet and NO orange peel what so ever.
Now I use Zaino that I have all the factory Orange Peel and small scatches gone and it is undescribable (SP?).

FYI - You know when to stop wet sanding when you dont see shinny spots anymore. Let me know if you have any questions

I just finished washing my car and doing the quick detailer with Mcguiars. It is clean, but there are scratches and swirls and even orange peel places in the paint. The car only has 14k mi. I have a garage now so I would like to get it perfect. The wet sanding sounds risky, especially for a newbie, but the end result sounds promising. Are you sure it is safe? Can I mess up the paint?

Wetsanding compromises a significant portion of the UV prohibiting clearcoat. It is not recommended for daily driver type vehicles.

A regular paint polish should take care of your swirls, etc.

wetsanding basically levels the clear... unless you do too much.. you dont take away from uv protection...

ZaneO

Every part of clear you remove takes away from the UV protection.

Boy i'd like to take it to that extent someday, but it sure makes me nervous sanding on my car. I'll have to practice on my daily driver first.
