polishing question

I have some very light swirls on the room of my mcs. They almost look like spider webbing. I want to get these out before I do my winter detailing, which product / process would you guys recommend for this?

Right now I have a PC polisher and Prima Epic.


Thanks!

Since you are using Prima, how about you try the Swirl with white pad?

Agreed. Get Swirl and have a white and an orange pad handy. Start with the white; if that doesn't get it out, use the orange one.

Would this leave any hazing that might require another step? That was my main concern really.

Nope! Even with the orange pad, Swirl is still very gentle. But if you are still concerned, Swirl on the white pad will definitely not mar.

Not only will it not mar or leave hazing, wait until you see that shine ! Wax will provide protection but the shine will be courtesy of the Prima Swirl.
