Waxing my Blue - some questions

I'm gonna be washing/waxing my car tomorrow with the roommate (my 8, his cobra). Thing is, I don't have any wax, so I'm going to use his Zymol. From what I've read, it looks like ppl prefer Zaino over any wax.

So I guess all I want to know is, should I wait and order zome Zaino, or will Zymol just this once be more than adequate?

One more thing, does anybody have pics of a Blue Zaino job?

Also, what does everyone use to apply their wax? Towel, buffer, orbital? While buffer/orbital may be better than the towel, would that be OK too?

I'm new at all this, so I'm just trying to find out what the best, practical ways are to maintain the appearance of my vehicle.

My advice is to wait for the Zaino order to arrive. I've got 9 coats on my car and it just keeps getting better and better.

I use cotton towels to apply and remove Zaino. Go to www.zainostore.com for very detailed instructions.

Liquid Glass

Here is My Blue RX-8 in Liquid Glass ..... And if you still want too ... you can apply Zainos later right over the Liguid Glass ... I called Zainos and asked that question.... they say no problem will not effect the outcome. Just wash with dawn first.

Well, then technically that is NOT applying "right over" the Liquid Glass. The Dawn will strip away your old wax, leaving a clean, bare surface for the new stuff.
