    Smooth Surface Clay Kit
    Ultimate Compound or SwirlX.
    Least aggressive method possible.
    Wax.

      Yeah, wash and clay.

      Then do a test area with SwirlX. See if it gets rid of your defects, if so, great. If not, then you will try Ultimate Compound.

      Then follow up with 2 thin coats of Nxt 2.0.

                Right on Paparazzi! When you're ready to use the UC be sure to try a test spot first. Make sure it'll finish out the way you're expecting it to. Doing it all by hand is a lot of work, but it's also very rewarding. Best of luck.

                            Sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she is doing better.

                            Since it has been awhile rewash then try your test spot. Can't wait for the pics.
