FIRST PC POLISH AND WAX
Polished the MINI with PC last weekend. Used Swirl with orange pad, Amigo with white pad and Epic by hand. I think I did a pretty good job for the first time. I might include an intermediate polish step next time. I have some very small micro abrasions. Maybe Finish or Swirl with white pad.
Also, the Clear Bra had me worried. I did not use Swirl on it. I did use the Amigo and Epic. Now it has swirls and the rest of the car doesn't. Anyone using Swirl with orange pad on the Clear Bra? Will it take out the Swirls if they were there before the Clear Bra? I also did not do a good enough job masking the Clear Bra. It is costing me some serious clean up time.
Also, I still see water spots on the bonnet. I guess I have sealed them in with Epic. Should the Swirl have taken the water spots out, or should I have used something else? Wondering if I worked the Swirl enough?  I worked it longer than two minutes. It seemed like it was turning dry. Maybe I chickened out.
All in all, it looks way better than when it was delivered. Almost can't wait for the next attempt.
