cover any wires that are exposed but anything newer than 1990 should be fine and watertight

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

What would you recommend for removing slight swirl marks by hand?

einszett extra followed by einszett paint finish with einszett glanz.

or you can do

adam's swirl and haze followed by adam's revive polish finish with einszett glanz.

you might not be able to get rid of everything by hand though

POLISHES

and for glanz:
einszett Glanz Wax (16,9 fl oz)

Thanks! Cleaned the engine and it looks great! Next thing what do recommend to make the tires look black, but not slick feeling? I'd like to drive hard but I'd like the tires to look really black....if that's possible.

Here is a picture of marks/dots on my front bumper. They have been there since i bought the car back in March with 5K miles. You can feel them but i have no idea what could even make them. Running my finger over them and looking at them makes me think they may be able to come out. The only thing i have done to the car is wash every Sunday, wax every other wash and I have clay bared her one time. Any ideas?

could be clear coat failure or rock chips, pitting the bumper.

mond12345 · 08-25-2008, 01:46 PM

The thing is there is a lot of them on the front bumper and just the front bumper. I have rock chips on my hood and i know what those are. These i don't think are rock chips since they are so close together. Is there any type of paint/clear coat warranty on this car? Its an 07 with 8K miles. Thanks

**DetailersDomain.com** · 08-25-2008, 10:00 PM

I would go back to the dealer and ask.

that would probably be your best bet.
