What did you use on the rubber moldings and the pillars? My S4 could use some love in those spots

What did you use on the rubber seals, if you don't mind me asking?:urtheman:
Ever take a day off?

Was this a one or two step detail and would you mine sharing your list products used on the paint? I have two Audi's and the clear is pretty hard so I would really like to compare notes. Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried either the wool or MF pads yet, since as an enthusiast I don't generally have a need-my personal cars are in outstanding condition. But every once in a well I want to test my skills so I offer to do a friends car which is of course hammered. And thus far the 5" orange hybrid paint seems to take care of business - but I've been intrigued to try another option with my Flex 3401. The other concern I have is the thickness of the clear and since I don't have a gauge, I'm resistant to going "all out" for a full correction if you know what I mean. The few swirl marks that might be left by M105 and the orange hybrid pad that only I can see is far better then going beyond the point of no return. My lack of knowledge on the wool and MF options also contributes to lack of usage. Do you think I should purse the wool/mf options?

I think so. Wool on Flex it's more safe than a wool on rotary .
