I use a 4" foam pad by hand with something like presta 1500. Then finish up with your finishing polish of choice. This does take some time by hand.

You can use Menz power gloss, XMT360 or Adam’s Swirl & Haze Remover with a microfiber applicator Pad.....

Yea like everyone has said do it by hand and with just about any polishing product you got. But doing it by hand is slow..lol...funny how I say that becuase before I would only detail by hand and thought that was the only way to detail yea I know huh.

I just fixed that exact problem on my last detail. Used Menz SIP on a slightly damp MF applied by hand - you'll end up using your fingers to polish way up in there. Turned out great for me.

any AIO should take care of it (Klasse AIO, XMT 360, Poorboys Polish w/ sealant, or any "cleaner wax".
