It has been too long since I have posted one of my details... So here is my personal car... 07 Civic SI...
Process was just a simple clean up as we had a few nice days up here in upstate NY (nice means some days over 50 degrees. lol). To wash, I used DP 4in1 with a Mf mitt and MF towels to wipe off. I then went over the entire care with Klasse AIO and topped with Souvern. On the tires, I used Black Onyx. On to the pics....

Now to my questions... As long as I have been here, I have never polished my car. I have always washed and waxed using proper technique, keeping the need to polish down. But now, I have some very minor swirls and some waterspots on the the hood, roof, and trunk lid. I was wondering how I would polish these tough areas... As all the videos I have seen always show how to polish on a nice flat surface... Here are the areas...

As you can see in the pic above, there in a concave surfave running from the spoiler all the way to the headlights under the windows... Should this be done by hand or just use the edge of the pad with a PC?

Kind of a large area, but not much room to work. I thought of using some 4" pads here... But I only have 5" in my arsonal and no means to get any other pads at the moment.... Again by hand?
Feed back please
