Green pad and detail spray as lubricant. I didnt' get to final polish the whole car, but the hood was. I must be very inexperienced with the PC

did you break the polish down? how long did you work it?
if not done right, the polish can scratch the car.

Poorboy's Trim Restore for the wiper cowl for sure. As for polishes, anything that Autogeek sells for polishes will do, whether its Poorboys SSRs, XMT, Pinnacle or Wolfgange swirl removers, etc. A 'green pad' gives me no information. What company made this green pad? Whats the abrasiveness of it? From the first pictures it looks like product wasn't fully broken down or the pad caused extra marring. Did you use Menzerna Intensive polish or final polish? Or another one of their polishes? IMO, there are much more user friendly polishes compared to Menzerna. What towels did you use to wipe the polish off with? It looks like those may have caused some marring as well. XMT 3 or Poorboys SSR 2 or 2.5 should do the trick to get your finish to your standed (used with a polishing pad). Just do a few searches on whatever products you buy, watch the videos so you'll be familiar with their characteristics. Good luck.

Black cars are not for the faint of heart. But when properly done, they look awesome. I would watch the videos XMT has made if you haven't already. I think the site is...
XMT Series by Pinnacle; Xtreme Machine Technology polishes & glazes for dual action orbital & rotary polishers.
Good luck!

Isn't black so fun toi rub on
1. For under the door handle, put some compound or polish on a mf towel and rub at it with your fingers. that will help that out.
2. What menzerna product did you use, and what company pads are you using.
3. Where do you live, somebody on here might live near you and might be able to give a hand.

While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.
