I bought my Plexus at a Honda motorcycle dealer. They sell it for the cleaner/polish for the windshields on bikes. A friend recommended it to me after he used it on an older bike's windshield with great results.

I have the red with the peel. I have observed many other reds with the paint peel.
Take the advice of the others from this board, get Honda's okay to repaint the entire bumper, but do it as late as possible unless you were going to put Stongard or Xpel on your car, which is what I had planned to do.
However, my plan was completely spoiled by my incompetent dealer bodyshop which have botched the repaint 3 times, and left it in a terrible state.

Ok, Im thinking Zaino at this point unless anyone has anything to say to sway me to finish first.

Has anyone used the Zaino plastic polish product?

And how long does the Zaino typically last?

Get the Zaino..Z-5 is what you need for those nice little the swirl marks the dealer left both of us. Ive put several coats of it on my red.. it looks awesome IMO. Go to the link above it gives you all the info you need. BTW also have the paint peel around the headlights.

I am a detail FREAK ! In my old days, it was carnuba wax or death. I tried the Finish First for the first time when I bought my S2K a few months back on the recommendation of members of the H-A net, and I wouldn't use anything else! The finish is over two months old and is fantastic! It's easy to apply and remove--much easier than carnuba wax. I haven't used Zaino, so I can't say how good it is. I bought the Finish First from Honda-Accessories, one of the sponsors of this site. Happy shining!
