Does anyone notice how rough the rear bumper and trunk (emblem area) is compared to the rest of the car? I understand the front getting hit by rocks / sand, ect. but the rear? I guess the air doesn't diffuse very well and cause a pretty stong upward swirl.

Even after I waxed it, it doesn't feel like the rest of the other panels. Feels as if there are micro rock chips. Is it just my G?

 

you can try using a claybar.. it should help if it's not physical damage to the paint

 

wash the car with some liquid dawn, then clay it and wash it again and wax it. Good luck

 

I've kept mine Zaino'd from the start, so it's still smooth at 3500 miles.

Are you running a rear spoiler? Without, I noticed more dirt/dust than after installing the DS rear spoiler. And I can't be certain, but is seems to stay even a bit cleaner still with the KarumaZ/NISMO rear diffuser. The diffuser gets dusty, but the back of the trunk and the rear bumper seem to be cleaner. Maybe it's a combination of the very minor diffuser effect and the extension of the DS rear spoiler?

 

Well i have a spoiler and diffuser dont know if less dust or more bc mine is black so once you wash and drive it off the driveway its dusty and dirty again. but props on your zaino i keep it zainoed too. How many layers are you at right now?

 

Not many. Maybe 3 or 4 layers of Z2(polish), but I use the carwash and then the gloss enhancer (Z8) after most washes.

It's garaged and only has about 3500 miles. And it rarely gets dirty for more than 1 or 2 days, so that helps too.

 

What color and year is your G? I have an '04 Pearl and I noticed exactly the same thing. Even after I wash and wax I still feel thousands of "micro rock chips" on my back bumper. By rock chips I mean little particles of rock imbedded in the paint.

 

Did you guys clay it?

 

if claying doesn't remove the micro rock chips... you may want to try a very light rubbing compound

 

Cool. I'll trying claying it on my next wash. My G is DC so visually everything looks fine, but man, it feels nasty. I have about 10k and mostly fwy driving.
