Rolls Royce Phantom Paint

Funny thing is the body is made of what....plastik? fiber glass? It doesn`t sound like metal when I knocked it with my finger and this thing is hell to buff to swirl free.





I could get it done to slightly swirled but I couldn`t get the last swirl out.

What combination do you guys suggest to polish out the swirls?

I could get it down to slight swirl, just need the finishing touch to finish off the light swirl, this thing is like plastic

Menzerna 106FA via black LC pad worked flawlessly to finish on the Rolls I worked on months back. It was the 3rd step in the process. This was using the Makita.

black LC the flat one? or CCS? or which of the LC pads?

Thanks for the reply

Since the clearcoat appears to be very soft, I wont want to use anymore rotary buffing at this point when you`re about to finish up the job.



1. Flex DA (VRG) + Menz 106FF/FA + Megs Finishing Pad. Don`t buff off.

2. Immediately, use PC7424 + Menz PO85RD + Black Pad. Take your time and do it slowly. Buff off.



If you still see some very light swirls....

PC7424 + Megs Swirl free Polish + Black Pad.

Phantoms & Dropheads have very soft and workable paint. M105 via LC orange (DA) and then 85RD / LC white can easily cut through the defects like butter. Use the Kevin Bown Method (KBM) for the win!
