Polishing the sailpanel Is polishing the sailpanel like polishing any other painted surface or is it any different? I will hopefully be doing a complete exterior detail on my car this Friday and I would like to polish the sailpanel because it isn't looking so pretty anymore.
I've got Menzerna's Intensive Polish and Zaino Z2 & Z5. I've also got the Tropi-Care sampler pack. What would you recommend?

You can polish it like the rest of the car. But i would recommend mothers or meguiars.

Definitely clay bar it first. If it hasn't been cleaned well in a while, then it most likely has deposits and other nasties embedded in the paint.
Then what I do is Z5 then Z2.

Actually, I used the BTB on my divider and it worked well there too. I do feel stupid though. I had clayed and used cleaner wax on the car but, never thought to use it on the divider or sail. DUH!
T-Top divider I have is painted metal.
In fact I've got an extra sitting on my workbench right now.
It has rubber gaskets on each end, but the whole black t-top divider is metal.
