Default Time for a change.

OK, guys and girls I'm a detailing freak. I use Zaino products and love them. But their polishes do require a lot of time. Nothing wrong with that, but time is startimg to become hard to find. So I am looking for some other feedback on other products that people might use.

Default RE: Time for a change.

Polishing is always going to require time. A full detail takes about 4-6 hours if using a machine. Now, everyone's standards are different, so that may vary. Zaino, when using Zfx, only needs about an hour or so for three coats. It's the paint prep lie polishing that take the time. There isn't a way to speed that up unless you get either a good random orbit machine or a rotary. The rotary is faster, but does require more skill.

I.ve always done the job by hand and now I am ready to go over to a machine. Never used a buffer before and really like some tips.
