Default Wax machine & pressure washer with Zaino?

I have 3 layers of Zaino on so far. I'm tempted to wash the car today using the water pressure washer, any idea if this will take the Zaino off?

Also I have a wax machine, tempted to try it as well. Been doing it by hand, any idea if the wax machine will screw up the Zaino?



thanks

as several of my posts indicate, i use a porter cable to apply zaino with great results-
(it does use more product than by hand)
make sure that your machine is a random orbital and use it on a low speed... the pros use high speed non-random machines to soften the paint and apply wax (dangerous unless you are really experienced)

I have 3 coats too and I use the high pressure wand wash. The water just beeds off, so it doesn't take off the Zaino for sure. I would wet it down first, apply Z7 with a wash mit, and then hose it off. Looks great still and that with a full day of driving through a moonsoon.

I am not sure how many washed Zaino can go through before the water stops beeding. I figure I'll add a coat every 3 weeks or so and tha should keep it beeding.

Got really sleepy while studying for my final exam so I went out, washed the car, dried it used the wax machine. The result is amazing! I must say it's much better than doing it by hand. The wax goes on more evenly.

I'm using the orbital from now on
