The initial application is more work only because it is important to prepare the surface for the polish, after that I can do my entire car in 45 minutes and that includes 30 minutes of drying time for the polish.
Proper surface prep is the key, regardless of what your choice of polish is. Is it work? Sure.

After that, Zaino is a piece of cake.

If this question is addressed to me, the answer is I only use the gloss enhancer to wet the applicator it helps to thin out the polish... there is no real correct way to do it that will make a marked difference, I wipe down the car with gloss enhancer so I'm not polishing in and surface dust. I apply the polish, allow it to dry, then buff it off....Zaino is nice in the fact that it doesn't leave any chalky residue. during the summer season I do many other things... If I take a long drive to the shore, I usually schedule a clay bar cleaning the next day or so, I sometime use my porter cable buffer to polish the finish...all this attention is just therapy for me..and I have the time...I was out today in the car, and had to stop a f ew different places, and every where I stopped I got people coming up and asking questions....you could tell spring was in the air....
