Hey guys, first post, this looks like a great board!
Here is the situation, my wifes car (and she likes her car to look nice) got some pretty heavy water spots when one of my front yard sprinklers decided to give it a shower. Well we were on a 2 week vacation, and they baked in really heavy and well.
Tried removing them with Vinegar, it lightened them, but didn't remove them. Then tried some hand applied wax, didn't touch it. Finally busted out my rotary buffer (a Craftsmen Model, was given to me, it spins and swivels though similar to the dual action type) and tried a cutting mat with the medium cut cleaner/polisher from Meguire's.
I applied it as instructed last night and i still have some light staining in certain spots. I worked the compound till it appeared dry as instructed but i could still see the edges of the stains.
Should i move up to the heavy compound and try to take it down a bit more, or just keep working it with my medium compound but apply it another 1-2 times to see it if works. This is tough because it is the front left side of the car, as well as the entire roof, hood, and trunk lid.
Any help or advise would be highly valued. We just got married a couple months ago, and really dont want to budget to pay to get it done professionally. Thanks again!
