need help withPanel Loops

Hi all. having finally had time to upgrade to 4R6 and start playing with a new project I thought I’d also finally try out using panel loops.
Below are pics of the two different failed attempts. The first pic is a tool with about 2 mil polys and several polygroups
When I activate panelloops I get a lot of strange deformations all over the tool which I have highlighted in the attached pic.
For attempt 2 as seen in this second pic, I reduced the polycount to about 700 k and also tried with just 2 polygroups.
As you can see, the results are actually worse. I tried adding group loops to clean up the division between the two polygroups but it had no positive impact.
.

I have spent a couple of hours playing with panelloops settings to try to get better results but just can’t get anything I can use. Anyone see what I am doing wrong?
