Swirl Marks On Gloss Black Plastic Door Pillars - Octy 3

Featured Replies

Sorry if this has been covered previously. Tried several searches but did not bring up any relevant results:

As per the title really - swirl marks from delivery in the gloss black plastic window surrounds on Octy 3 VRS and Leon 3. Any solutions to remove these?

Considering using micro mesh or t-cut as per Perspex polishing.

Usual tactic for paint polishing will work, only don't put as much effort in as they clean up a lot quicker than paint.

I'm assuming by hand rather than machine polish on a slow speed?

Personally I would machine polish for the even finish, but that's because I have all the gear at my disposal - I just know from personal experience of doing similar covers, they needed very little work to remove the swirls, compared to paintwork. :)

Okay thanks. More than happy with machine polishing the paintwork. Will try an inconspicuous area first - like the wife's Leon.

Thanks guys - just what I was looking for. Will give it a go when reunited with pads and compounds in a few weeks time.
