you can make your car look way better then the zanio if you know what your doing with a machine.

also for small scratches you can't beat meguirer's scratch X for quickness and ease (it's in a tube and you apply it by hand)
Youre def right about a machine job, but most people are scared to do that in fears of burning up the paint. But no you cant go wrong with machine polishing if you know what youre doing.

Even that stuff is a filler and it won't take out scratches. It's just a weak polish marketed as a scratch remover.

Zaino! To do it right it really doesn't take more than the others- you still have to prep and like painting it usually takes longer to do that than the actual job. Guru reports tested more waxes and polishes than I have ever seen & Zaino ruled supreme.
Also Sal (the owner) answers questions right away should you have any. Yes my truck is garaged but I still can't believe how long this stuff beads water compared to other products I have used. A couple coats in the fall will easily last me right through winter then I clay and start over.

I stopped using Meguiars back in 1997 once I discovered Zaino and I have been using it ever since

I'm sure it seems like it works, but go over it with some dishwash detergent and I bet the marks will show right back up.

Seriously, who washes their truck with detergent? LOL. JK. I'm sure it would, but I use it where I need it after I wash the truck, then wax over it.....maybe it kinda helps seal it back in?
