Alright nobody had any advice through the entire US of A so here it goes! Haha
Any powdercoated part can be cleaned 100% with ScrubbingBubbles bathroom cleaner! Awsome. Than for any micro scratches to very minor heres the trick. 3M rubbing compound(liquid)05973 with cotton towel. Rub semi hard good elbow grease. Allow to dry after rubdown(it will glaze over). Wipe clean and rinse with h2o. Than applay 3M Imperial hand glaze (liguid)05990 rub out good. Dry same than no rinse wipe clean as if wax removal. Applay good Carnauba. DONE. AS STATED ANY PAINTED OR PC PART, NO SCRUBBING BUBBLES ON PAINTEDPARTS! 3M OK THO. THANKS ME hahahah
