Random orbitals work very well with Zaino. The problem is that you often put as much Z5/Z2 on the pad as you do on the X.
Unlike carnaubas, which you kinda want to rub in, and where orbitals make sense, a synthetic like Zaino only needs to be applied in a thin layer, not rubbed in.
My Porter orbital has a pad that is is 7" in diameter and soaks up Zaino like a sponge. I'd rather put Z on my X than on my pad, so I use a hand applicator. Plus you can't use an orbital on nooks and crannys.
I just did my X again and it took me about 7 minutes to apply Z5 by hand.
While the orbital may on large areas apply the Zaino more evenly, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages IMO. |

"While the orbital may on large areas apply the Zaino more evenly, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages IMO"
After having used a random orbital to apply Zaino, I am inclined to agree with your assessment that little time is really saved. However, by spraying Z6 on the pad to moisten prior to applying Z2 or 5 I was able to reduce the amount of product used. The real advantage I found was to enable a thinner coat of Z and not have any streaks. |
