Gloss black plastic (BMW) - Page 2

I tried to hand polish it using Megs PlastX but it made very little to no difference.

Might try a finishing polish on DA next.

Just to update this thread.

After using Meg's PlastX which made little to no difference. I then tried Menzerna Final Finish polish by hand to the gloss back plastic trims. As soon as i buffed it off, there was noticeable difference, many of the swirls were gone.

I then did a couple of passes using my DAS6 and it has made a huge difference, night and day difference!

Was going to use SRP but then decided not to as I didn't want the fillers in it hiding the swirl marks.

I have used megs ultimate compound very gently by hand.

On my F31 and my wife Eygo, both have gloss black panels inside.

I use either, to remove scratches/swirls, Megs Ultimate Polish, or Auto Finesse Triple, then add a liquid wax ontop. I just add a quick wax and wipe every time I hoover the cars.
