It's usually best to apply Zaino by hand. There's no real advantage in applying it by machine, and I believe Zaino recommends hand application.

If you use a cotton bonnet or fine foam pad, you can apply by machine, but it's likely you will use more product applying that way.

zaino isnt really considered a cutting polish so there is no need to apply it with a buffer/polisher

I always applied it by hand and removed it with an orbital. If it really works better or worse, I'm not sure but it always comes out nice. Definitly easier....

It's best to apply Zaino or any other wax/polish by hand. Only use a buffer if you are using some type of swirl mark remover or fine cut rubbing compound.
