Default Cleaning the Z

Hey guys I just got my Z on Feb and noticed that on the B pillar on the outside(the one that is a glossy black) i'm already getting swirl marks. What do you guys use to keep it shiny and reduce swirls. I was thinking about car wax but wanted to get some opinions first. thanks in advance

I had the same thing happen to mine, it was quite strange...I resolved it by covering them with CF b-pillars.

The pillar is plastic right? Plenty of suggestions in the detailing forum.

Yeah, it seems like my B-Pillar came with swirls from the dealership...I don't know it just seems like they came that way.

I just wax them as often as I wax the car. It fills in the swirls for awhile, and then they're back again.

I'd like to see those Carbon Fiber B- pillar covers in person...

Do you have a picture? I do some detailing at work and might be able to help you out.
