Accumulator, Special Thanks! And Others! Pictures!

[AltimaNut]

I wanted to take a minute to thank Accumulator specifically, but all the others as well who gave me tips and advice on how to solve my problem. I had a lot of spider-webbing and swirling, isolated for the most part to my rear bumper which had to be repalced and re-painted. That paint just isn`t as hard as the factory stuff.



My solution was as follows:



3 passes with 3M Perfect IT-III Machine Glaze (Applied and removed by hand, great workout, but great results)



3 passes Zaino Z-5 with ZFX Accelerator (did all 3 coats in under 1 hour with this weekend`s weather)



The results were amazing! I will post pictures, I have 7 of them, and I compressed them first, and this site says they are still too big.



I will post them if I figure out how, any help woudl be appreciated, but for now, thanks to everyone that helped, especially Accumulator!

AltimaNut- Glad to hear the MG worked out for you. It did sound like just the right product for that job.

What is a "PASS" or what constitutes a "PASS"?



Thank you for the help.

A "pass" is an application. With a polish, I consider a "pass" to be one application worked until it`s properly broken down. So he polished it three times to get it the way he wanted it, which sounds about par for the course with mild marring, MG, and sorta-soft paint.

So does that mean that on three "Passes", the polish was broken down & applied to the applicator 3 times?



thanx accumulator for the great help.

Great job on the Altima, really wet and reflective. Shine on my friend!

I only Zainoed the bumper, first time I used it. I can only imagine what the whole car will look like with 3 coats of Z-5.



You know how hard it is to keep a car clean in Chi-town, constant struggle.



Thanks for the compliments!
