As for me today; DIY CF vinyl wrapped b-pillars.

Door handles next.

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! Your B-pilllars look awesome!!! Did you use DiNoc? I think my 1080 is a little more glossy. I will use that on my PW Z. Anyone have a pic of the b-pillars in CF on a white Z???

Yeah swirls are a big no-no

To properly deswirl, you'll need to polish. To polish, you will need a buffer (DA or rotary...I use DA's, as they are safer...my Flex is a DA, but with power of a rotary), pads, and polishes. After that, you can glaze it if you like, then seal, then wax.

Proper washing and QD'ing techniques are a MUST to maintain a swirl-free finish. It's all in the technique. It's too lengthy to go over here, but let's just say I take 2 hours to wash using several buckets, mitts, a foam gun, a leaf blower and lots of QD :P

ONR is short for Optimum No Rinse... look it up. It's revolutionary (if used properly). I use ONR only when I have heavy dust. If it got rained on, it must be a 2 or 3 bucket wash for sure.
