That is good to know Brian.
I have used Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 successfully:

However it didn't last as long as I hoped.
Did a good job, most scratches disappeared almost completely but slowly the deeper ones have become visible again.
Still way better than doing nothing and I have also polished since then which also made an improvement.

So the overall system steps should be ....

1st - wash

2nd - Re-Po Paint Doctor

for pinstripes

& perhaps clay bar if weathered.

3rd - Super Resin Polish

4th - Zaino

And finally Paint Shield as required

You know Scott if you're still not happy with the finish after Zaino, there's nothing to stop you sticking a coat of wax on top. Worst case scenario of course. Some people do to get a more natural shine. I'm not that fussed though.

2nd coat

Just noticed i put too much on on the last coat as its a bit streaky. Will do it in the daytime instead so i can see how much is going on!

My Zaino turned up yesterday

A question on the clay bar.(which are on special in Auto1 Mothers with the juice,2 bars and a cloth for $38.00,almost $50 in supercrapp

).Can you do any damage with the clay bar???,can you use it on the plastic trims to remove scratches???How about the lights,does it damage polycarbonate????? bugs are difficult to shift.
I dont think it will be a birthday weekend this weekend,Ive got garden jobs I need to sort.

Whilst on detailing.
Autoglym have a spray can product to protect wheels from brake dust,Supercrapp had a display wheel half treated.If that is how good it is well worth the $22 for the can if you have factory alloys and no akebonos.The GOE wheels dont show the dust so I didnt get any YET.
Wheel Protector - Products - Autoglym

Good that you didn't. Fine print states not to be used on dark wheels. Apparently leaves a milky residue not visible on silver wheels. I noticed label after buying but Supercheap were good enough to do a refund.

I only usually use it on the paint Andy so can only comment on that. As long as you run the bar over lightly and use enough of the spray you'll be fine. If the bar is sticking and not gliding, you need to put some more on. Btw ours cleaned up great after the mud and clay on Sunday! Remember don't waste your time drying completely before claying as you have to wash it after!
