I have lots of problems with my car
I recently started using Zaino and I have about 4 coats of Z5 and Z6 on there and it is looking better, but it doesn't fix everything. My swirls have been reduced, but definitely not eliminated. I can still see some fine scratches in the paint that I'd like to remove or cover up. I have some very small paint chips in my hood that just look like little white specks but don't come off. I have a TON of white specks on my rear bumper that look really bad (I have some cheap color wax stuff that covers them up but it's gone after one or two washes). My glass has little red specks in it that I can see when it's in the sun, and it has some fine scratches in the glass too that I can only see when bright light is coming through the window. That's about everything that I want to fix of so if anyone can recommend what to do I'd really appreciate it.

Since Zaino is not an abrasive you can not remove all the deeper scratches, you can use a mild abrasive for that like the 3M Swirl Mark Remover part number 39009

See this page to fix your chips: http://www.angelfire.com/il/99redbird/rockchip.html

You will want to use the Zaino Z-18 clay bar to remove the deposits on your rear bumper.

Don't know what the red specks are, and if they are "in" the glass like you said you will have to live with them. Use the Zaino Z-12 for fine scratches on the glass.

I've already tried the Meguiars swirl remover 2.0 and the 3M #39009, both had no effect at all. I guess I'll keep Z5'ing it and if that doesn't do it I guess I'll have to live with it. But it does look a hell of a lot better.
I managed to get those red specks off my glass using a claybar. I didn't know if it's okay to clay windows but I did it anyway, except for my back window because it's tinted. After I clayed the glass it seemed to make the fine scratches more visible when headlights are shining directly at me. So I guess there was something on there just filling them in and I took it off. Can I use the claybar on my tinted window? Also, is there anything else other than Zaino Z12 that can remove or fill in fine scratches in glass? I won't be ordering any more Zaino for a while because I just got my first kit. I'll make sure to get it next time.
I have already tried claying my bumper to get the white junk off it, but that didn't work. I'm really stumped on that one. I guess I need something to just cover them up that lasts a long time.
