Default zaino + white car = extreme difficulty!!

Is it just me or is white car hard to wax (or zaino)?

i was trying to put zaino on over the weekend, yet i found myself constantly puting too much because I could not see the haze...

I did 1/4 of a mixing bottle on my buddy's accord... yet i have to use 1/3 of mixing bottle to do my S...

i know it's way too much.. does anyone have any trick to do better on a light coloured car (especially white!!)??

yup, you shouldnt be able to see it on a white car- harder to do than other colors.
you have to really be careful to use very small amounts- about dime size for one entire area.
my solution is the porter cable- you will use more product, but easier to control where it goes on the car.

Forget the Porter Cable! You'll just waste product. The key to Zaino is "light and in layers". Just an ounce should cover the entire care in an application. Don't put it on like you would wax. A little goes a long way and the key is multiple layers.

mybad- i know that i use a lot more z2 than you do, but it goes on so much quicker and more even and buffs out so perfectly that i still prefer it over the hand job. you do have to control the amount of product on the pad (but you also have to do that by hand too).
just did a hand zaino over this past weekend and afterwards wondered why-
i know its a personal preference, but mine is for the machine!
