Machine polish
Up next was the main body of this detail, carrying out a dual stage machine polish – cut/refine.

Stage 2 of this process consists of a medium polishing pad with Auto Finesse step 2 polish to flatten the paint back out, remove medium to light swirls left over and regain a brilliant gloss back to the paint. Each step was performed on a dual action machine polisher and given the specific number of passes with respect to panel condition.
