My Lotus I put a private plate on and had to remove all the sticky off the plates as new ones were slightly smaller I had to use t-cut to get all the marks out and then scratch x as slightly less abrasive.Looks very shiny now, but the quater panels where the exhausts come out are dull. These are factory holed and need something to do the same but I can't get behind it, so cutting residue will dribble through and land on the undertray all visible. What can I use that will allow it to shine up and not leave a residue?

Well I cut the panels back this evening with T cut and the flat colour took a bit of elbow grease. Probably never been polished from new.The heat from the exhaust had probably not helped ( one reflector melted from exhaust heat on the panel).Sealed with two coats of jetseal and 2 coats of colly.Looks good now, although had to clean every drilled hole out the panel of all the gunk afterwards.
