Thats quit the improvement, that paints does need some TLC and you're in the right path to give it just that.

paint
Is this the factory paint, or has the hood been repainted at some time?

The reason that I ask is that if it has been repainted, the paint / clear coat is probably very thick and you could use a very aggressive polish without worry.

My wife got it new before we were married, and it's never been repainted. Although the strange thing is that the paint is pretty decent all over the car... apart from the hood. It's noticably worse! But then again, I've seen other 2001 Ford Explorer Sports that have similar defects on the hood.
And yes, I was just testing what I could do with what I had learned here on the board and what I have.
I will be using SSR 2.5 on it once I get everything next week.

Sounds like a good choice.

I doubt in Zainos Fusion would knock a hole in that finish (its light kinda like a finishing polish to me) and using just Z1 and Z5Pro is not going to make a huge difference as it has very light filling ability. (it looks great as an LSP) I would seriously get into some heavy polishing, then some lighter polishing, and a jeweling. Then revisit Zaino as wanted, but true perfection will come from all the prep prior to a paint sealant or wax alone.

Alright everyone, I just finished the hood on the explorer:
1) Meguiar's Gold Class
2) Zaino Z16 Clay
3) Poorboys SSR2.5
4) Poorboys SSR1
5) Poorboys EX-P
Is it perfect? No. But did it make a difference? HUGE! Scroll above to see the befores and compare with the below... I love this PC, cannot wait to finish the whole Explorer...
I wonder if the Natty's Blue will make a difference?
