Default My wifes new Z

Bought it over the weekend. Super Black Touring with 5AT(for her). I compared it with the G35, Crossfire - No match. Thicar is beautiful.

What I need is some good advice on exterior car. This car was in the dealer showroom and has some minor surface scratches. I don't want the dealer to buff them out I am afraid they will screw it up. Is there a good product that I can use for the scratches as well as the whole car.

Thanks alot and I look forward to more good reading here.

Mark

Zaino Z-5 does a nice job in filling in swirls. 3M also makes a swirl filling product.

we all know what Dr Bonz uses I heard that 3m can do wonders for deeper scrates, but Z5 fills the swirl marks and minor scratches very well. I have 5 coats of Z5 and you have to look very close to even see any swirl marks.

Default Thanks

I appreciate all of the feedback. Anyone know of a good website for accessories? I bought a couple things from Courtsy Nissan but their prices are pretty steep.

Thanks again.

mofoz- stealing my drawing for you avatar are we kidding you can use it.

For swirls and such, I have found that that z5 doesn't do much to fill them even after mulitple layers, but if you physically take them out or at least make them less visable with a polish, I like Menzerna, then apply zaino you'll be all set.
