yah, that BugRelease does help remove bugs. i do an initial rinse, spray the bumper and side mirrors. give it a nice soaking..3min? then shampoo with a mitt.

easy off. i only use it when i need it.

I normally get a lot of bug suicide though living out in the country. A small price to pay though.

wow, with the thin clear unless i must use polish i use a product call Prima Amigo.

it's a glaze (filler) that makes the surface flat. works great to hide haze and minor swirls.

I have only had to polish the Z once, right after I got it. Theclear/paint is so thin I am so cautious to keep it blemish free for as long as possible.
The 3m is a final polish and is hardly abrasive and the blue waffle pad doesnt generate a lot of heat and is very soft. I shudder to htink of having to run a heavy polish/pad combo on the Z.
