Just want to say thanks to Greg over at DI for the Flex XC3401 buffer and the polishes.

After 1 pass:



After 2 passes:



After a few more passes.



I couldn't get a good before pic of the roof, so here are a few after shots.

Thanks guys. The B-pillars didn't look that bad in person, but still needed a good polish.

Well a large part of the success is definitely the Flex buffer. It's got a lot of power and little risk of burning paint or coated surfaces. It's one of the premier buffers to have for any detailer right now. I'm not sure what his exact process is but I would start off with a light polish:

Menzerna Final Polish II or Menzerna PO106FF - applied with white polishing pad

and then progress to a medium polish if needed:

Menzerna Intensive Polish or Menzerna Super Intensive Polish - applied with orange cutting pad

To view any of the Menzerna polishes please click here.
These products should help you remove some of those nasty swirls. Let me know if you have any more questions.
