Hi everyone,
I just wanted to offer some advice...

Some pressure dents were observed on side/corner areas of my Outlander roof.

When polishing the roof area, I had used a short step ladder to reach the center of the roof.
To brace myself, I had placed my palm on the side/corner of the roof when leaning over in several areas.

Later, I saw very slight pressure dents in those areas when looking at an angle.
These are very difficult to see without looking with the lighting at an angle.
I had had thought the sides of the roof were strong near the creases in the metal.
Don't assume this because pressure on these areas did result in slight dents.

When I had used the roof racks to lean over the roof area, this wasn't a problem.

That's a good tip. I usually brace myself with one hand on the roof rack, and buff with the free hand.
