Local Cars and Coffee

[m3pilot]

I have a 2001 trans am, it is black. I have been using zaino on it and have been very pleased with the results, except for on the rear bumper. The rear bumper on the f-body's collect a lot of dirt and dust and I think this is where they come from. I think the swirl marks must be too much for the zaino to cover. I have some 3m smr, 3m perfect it II, and some meguiars #9 swirl remover, which would be the best to start with. I will be applying it by hand if that makes a difference, what would be the best way to do it by hand? Also, I have a small scratch near the bottom of the car it is hard to see if you are not looking for it, but you can feel it, what should I use on this or is it to deep to do anyhting with? Here is what I was going to do on the back bumper:re-clay, use swirl remover, dawn wash the bumper, and then re-zaino? Any other suggestions?

I would start with the 3M swirl mark remover... I have a Camaro SS and I can feel your pain with the rear bumpers, it's a dirt magnet.



Work left to right on the bumper by hand and work the product into the paint firmly until it starts to get tacky then wipe it off.



When your done spray it with alochol and wipe off to remove and oils or fillers and see what the true result is.



The clay will really help on the bumper, it'll feel like glass compared to what it does now after you use the clay. I went two weeks without clay yet I had wax on the rear bumper and it still collected and imbedded particles.... it's horrible to maintain the rear of our f-body cars.



I gotta run man, when I get back I'll try to help more, I just wanted to through something at you for the time being.

This first group of pictures is from this spring, I've just been lazy getting around to posting them. I'll be adding to this thread further on through the year, we get together on the first Sunday of each month.

Today (4/3/11) was the season opener for Coffee and Cars at Two Shores, unfortunately the weather didn't want to cooperate as it was very cloudy and raining off and on. Thankfully the showroom stays nice and dry so the event continued on indoors instead!

More photos to come as I get them uploaded.
