Yes, repeated apps are required. Painted bumperettes require much less attention, to be sure.

Bogg,
Can you post a pic or two of the painted bumperettes. I run a collision center and it would be quite easy to have them refinished.

By the by, I was running some errands in the newly cleaned car and ran into a buddy of mine with his new girlfriend. I felt badly for him as she was giving me "the eye" after chatting her up sitting in my car.

I just saw on Weather.com that NJ is expecting some decent snow this week... I guess the Box will be sleeping in the garage this week.

Here are my bumperettes. I had them painted last month. Sorry about the dirty car.

Audioguy, your car looks stellar, absolutely stellar!

Audioguy, car looks great!

I too, bought some (1 gallon) 425 based on PerfectLaps recommendations. I can't wait to try it this Spring.

looks like you got the right guy to do the job for you. Very very nice, This is the first time I'm seeing 1000P high temp acrylic wax on Black. It's popular with metallics like silver because it gives depth like adding another layer of clear coat while preserving the metallic shimmer.

If you want a long lasting trim coating for the bumperettes, the black plastic around the windshield wipers and the plastic on the soft top trim
try the Poorboys Trim restorer

it lasts a very long time and it doesn't wash off when it rains.

If the weather gets above freezing any time soon try washing the black car with Optimum No Rinse. Its easier on the paint than a full on hose and suds wash. All you need is a bucket of warm water with an ounce or two of the No Rinse solution, ideally two bucketts, and a few microfiber towels. Or you can dilute it in a spray bottle and wipe down each panel instead of using a dry duster. Follow up with the 425 to seal the wax from the elements and you won't have to wax for a really long time.
