Ok,
This is my second, black, 4th Gen, and will probably be my last black car ever. I just simply hate having to be so meticulous with it. My 98 TA (white), and 99 Z (red), both now gone were so freaking easy to make look great. Anyways my question is this: Anyone else with a black 4th gen, have like a fading, or something behind every wheel? I know it is probably from road dirt, etc. hitting the fenders/rear bumper cover, but does anyone know how to get this fading out, or how to prevent it (please dont say mudflaps, i will hang myself b4 that happens)?? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, anyone have stone chips on the front bumper cover, not through the paint, but just into the clear that look like hell?? Any advice on that would help too. Never used zaino, seems to be highly spoken of, how hard is it to use, etc.

 

Anyone that can help?? I know someone has to have the same problem with their black ride fading behind the wheels, both of my black 4th gens were like that....

 

my 97 is not fading behind the wheels. too many burnouts you probably have to repaint. i'm not sure what you are talking about with the stone chips on the front bumper cover.

 

Yeah mine has faded behind the wheels. i know exactly what you mean. I use Meguiars Deep Crystal Step 1 Paint Cleaner for that area. It cleans it and then i wash it with dawn and then Zaino it. Look into Zaino it does wonders. But make sure to wash the area with dawn before applying zaino u need a smooth surface to get Zaino to cure to the paint it will not work on any other waxes.

 

Yup....Zaino will restore faded paint with all the abrasives in it....

 

Use a cleaner wax and a rotary buffer u will get the shine back

 

Oh god.

 

I am sure you are joking as Zaino polishes contain zero abrasives and zero cleaners..........

 

Allrighty guys, thanks for all the help. The front bumper has stone nicks in it, but they almost look like they arent into the paint, kinda lookd like the clear is nicked (or something) IDK, it is weird.

 

Of course I'm joking...it's not possible for a final-step sealant like Zaino to restore dull paint, which is why I find most of these recommendations absolutely ridiculous.
