Hmm. . got a lot going on there. Some of it is rock chips, not much you can do for those except re-paint. Then there looks t obe water spots, and swirls/scratches, that hoepfully can be cleaned up using a paint cleaner.

The best way to start would be:
1. Wash - Give teh car a good wash with a good soap, like Nxt, or Gold Class. 2 buckets, decent towels, sponge, etc.
2. Clay - Smooth Surface Clay kit.
3. Clean - I am not sure all what products have made it t oCanada, but hopefully there is some SwirlX and Ultimate Compound available. You would want to do a test spot/area with the SwirlX, working in an application or tw oof SwirlX with good, even pressure. Then check the spot in the sun to see if it did the trick. If not, then try the Ultimate Compound, same thing, good even pressure. It may need followed up with SwirlX.
4. Wax - Your favorite wax would be fine, though Nxt 2.0 is a good one.

Re: Spotted Paint

Matt,

We would love to help you out but the site hosting your pictures has some advertisements that are not family friendly. I removed the images for now, since they break the forum rules.

Can you try hosting them again on Meguiar's Online? We have our own, free image-hosting service.

Thanks!
