Your disease runs much, much deeper than mine...! Good for you! You don't want to Z-6 before your first Z-5 (post Z-7)?
 
Start early, sun is setting too early now!

Z-5 is formulated to fill any slight spider webbing you may have from towel drying and washing.
A coat of Z-6 may hamper this filling/hiding affect.
 
Z-5 is the very first thing to touch my babies butt.
 
I will start early and tend to the crazy wife's chores between coats.
As for early sunset, that's what the garage is for!

Enjoy. Be sure you're done in time to watch the Red Sox pound the Indians. And the Pats crush the Cowboys... Kinda an Old West Weekend!

LOL
I should consider that...
The problem would be explaining it to the crazy wife.
 
She hates when I wash my car, never mind when I offer to clean someone else's!

Scratches under front bumper by tl_2007s

Well, I felt very stupid afterwards, but here it goes.... While trying to park the car at the shopping mall, I came too close to the pavement. That part of the pavement was red. So, now under the front bumper of my TL, I have red paint scratches...about 10 inches long area! It is not visible unless you go down and look at the bottom of the bumper.
  
I read elsewhere that some polish might remove the paint marks. I guess I should try polish first and then rubbing compound.
  
Sonus has so many kinds of polish products and someone suggested using Zaino Z5. Any other ideas? What should I do?
  
Thanks,

You'll need a polish that has a light abrasive in it to remove the red paint and to take down the scratches it created.
Zaino won't work... it's called a polish, but it's really a non-abrasive polymer sealant.
 
Try good ole' Scratch-X.... that should get the job done.
 
Glad it's only the lower bumper... it won't be noticable to anyone but you once you get it cleaned up.
