I'm guessing no since they tell you up and down motions...but its just sooooo much easier and faster with an oribital buffer!

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with doing it that way. Several people here do so. I'd just be worried that I'd scratch something. You are more likely to cause major damage if there is any foreign material on your orbital than if you had something on your hand applicator and are going in straight lines IMO.

I would think that if you are careful, it would be OK.

I've never used one with Zaino however. It takes away from the "hands on" experience.

 

nothing like a good ol' hand job, eh? lol...ok, that was dumb

 

I used to feel hand buffing was the way to go with Zaino ... til my husband slipped a DeWalt random orbital buffer in my hands. The random orbital motion prevents swirling ... and I go one step further by placing a small cotton towel between it and the car surface.

I still can't believe the difference in the shine when I use it. Course, I doubt I give it as good a hand job as some others here do. Now, now, don't look at me like that: I mean that I don't have the strength and stamina I used to at buffing. That didn't sound right either. ;x I'm a 42 year old female living in Texas' 100+ degree days ... that makes it easy to understand.

 

I used a cheap random orbital buffer just to try it, and found it consumed a lot more polish than doing it by hand. Taking it off was just as physical using thre buffer as by hand, so I stick to doing by hand. I bought a PC orbital, then broke my wrist and haven't had a chance to try it. It will happen in the next few weeks, and I will report my findings also.
