Great job, awesome results! Thanks for the great write-up, and the fantastic photos!

Sorry to hear about the issue with the polish residue on the trim. It sounds like the Coating Prep masked the residue, and did not remove it all. When planning a ceramic coating on the trim, it is best to mask off the trim when polishing. You should not use VRT on the trim when polishing, since it would not be easily removed by wiping with Coating Prep, and would then interfere with the Trim Coating. Since the polishing residue would also interfere with the Trim Coating, I would suggest trying to remove this residue by scrubbing the residue areas with Tire & Rubber Cleaner during your next wash, using a tooth brush. After the trim dries, check to see that the residue was removed, and then re-apply Trim Coating to these areas.

Also, iron decon can be done with Wheel Cleaner. Both the Iron Remover and Wheel Cleaner have the same iron-dissolving chemical, but the Iron Remover is a thinner product to allow it to spread out better over the paint.

Thanks for the tips, very much appreciated!

Great work and I appreciate the detailed write-up! I'll definitely use the same process you used to remove the swirl marks on the B-pillar glossy surfaces.
