Help removing Buffer trails?

The owner before me (or someone he hired) has destroyed my paintwork with buffer trails.

Im a beginner and have tried to remove them with a DA and mcguires ultimate compound but it hasn't done much.

Do I need a specific product or technique to fix it? Or do I just need to pussyfoot around less and give it some more welly?

Thanks in advance

Biker service announcement

For anyone who needs to know (and by the looks of my m25 drive today, alot of people)...

You do NOT need to use your hazards while filtering.

You are not a hazard if you are riding correctly, and even if you were... who are you hazarding for? People who can see you, have already seen you. And people who arent looking out of you, arent going to suddenly see your hazards before you pass them.

Thanks for listening

Shout out

Just a Shout out to all the drivers who are actually considerate and aware there are other drivers on the road.

Especially those drivers who look ahead and adjust their speed and trajectory in anticipation of other road users.

To all others... remember you arent the only person on the road and just because you are technically driving to the highway code, doesn't mean you are a good driver.

In a world where projected emotions are instantly mirrored by those around you, power belongs to those who can manipulate their kindness.

I hope this is the right sub for this... im actually not a writer but I came up with an idea that I really want to see come to life.

So I explained the whole idea to gemini and got it to write me a short synopsis. (All my ideas just written better than I ever could explain it)

We have gone into alot more depth about the world, the key events and plot, to share with someone who is interested in the concept. But im also aware that no one wants IA drivel all over their sub. So you can request that later if you desire.

In the first instance... id love opinions and ideas around this concept:

In a world defined by the power to command emotions based on perceived benevolence, an ambitious antagonist navigates this volatile system, using manufactured kindness to manipulate others and build a network of dominance. However, when he encounters someone who is completely immune, he is forced to confront a reality where his manipulation fails, setting the stage for the deeper psychological shift that shapes the emotional crux of the tale.

[WP]A world where projected emotions are instantly mirrored by those around you, power belongs to those who can manipulate their kindness. But how much power is needed when everyone is kind?

Remote Climate control

Am i right in saying you only have the option to climate the car to 22°C? Or whatever the °F version is, when using remote climate control via the app.

When it's cold that's ideal. But when its warm thats a bit toasty. I cant see a way to change it. If not, where do I request the feature in another version?

Light Tip

Driving home in the early hours of the morning I was getting flashed by oncoming HGVs on the motorway like I was full beaming them.

Whilst not full beaming them, I did want to have a look if I could adjust my dip to be kind to oncoming traffic. (Even though matrix lights shouldn't require this).

Well I couldn't find anything about dipping. But I did see this about RH traffic. And I see it say its set my headlights to RH traffic every time I start.

So with no one infront of me and a dark empty motorway ahead, I flicked the button on and off to see what happens.

Bingo! Rather unhelpfully I think the button is named incorrectly...

I am in the UK and drive on the left... so assumed Right hand traffic was correct...

Nope. I assume it means right hand driving.

Switching it off, illuminated the left hand side (so away from traffic) alot more than the right, and visa versa.

So just a little nudge for you all to check i suppose. Make sure in - car - more - exterior lights... your RH traffic is set to the correct side of the road for you. And maybe check it up against a wall to make sure you choose the right one.

Hope this helps someone
