B piller swirl marks f36
Hey anyone know a good polish material for the b piller on 4 series gc.
It seems like glass like surface with black backing. It has swirl marks that look ugly in the sun. Not sure what to do since it's not paint. Last edited by n00bim2015; 04-25-2016 at 10:26 AM.. |

Everybody gets those. Even if you polish it it'll happen again. A detail shop guy told me there's no solution to make them swirl free all the time, just make sure nothing sharp gets near it or when cleaning make sure the cloth is the finest there is.

Well I thought they were single stage painted, and I was sort of right as they have one coat of paint, no clear coat, however as someone else on the forum pointed out to me they are actually anodized. What I did to mine was use a very light or soft foam pad and fine polish to get the perfect and then I applied opticoat opti-gloss to it.

Just have them clear bra'd, only way to keep them clean on these cars. It should be pretty cheap.

Once you get it polished get it clear bra'd. I got 3M ProSeries put on the B pillars when I got my F36 and my F30, both a day after delivery. No worrying about swirl marks or getting finger prints on B pillars
 Would probably be around $50 or so, installed; depending on the film you get.

Make sure to mask any rubber/plastic around it also. After you polish get a new wash pad and towels as they or the dealership is the cause of the swirls.
