How should I clean these? Wax? Hydro? Nero?

 

Hydro

 

Are they swirled at all?

These pillars tend to swirl easily.

If not, apply a nice coat of wax to keep them shining nicely!!!

 

Not yet.... Picking up the car tomorrow so hopefully I can prevent the swirls... Any adice?

 

blot dry.

 

Mine swirled pretty bad before I learned how to avoid it. Polished out nice & easy with a PC and Prima Swirl.

 

Thanks for the help guys

 

Yes probably easiest and quickest way.

Those things swirl so fast but if and when they do just hammer down with some M83 or M80 with the PC and they'll be back to new in no time.

With Prima you'd be using Swirl or Finish.

 

Just driving around town they will swirl. They are plastic so the finish is a bit different than the rest of the MINI. I have the same swirling issues with my back bumper - again plastic.
I use Swirl on a white pad to get the swirls out then I switch to Finish on a white pad to get the haze out. Finally I hit them with Amigo as I do the rest of the car before using Epic. BTW, the pillars, back bumper, swoopy place by the head lights and the place above the windshield on my cabrio are all places that I have found a smaller 4" pad works the best.

 

+!
