One of my friends showed me his Mazda which had spent almost 3 years in Hawaii with pretty bad hard water spots which has now etched into his paint. He said that other detailers have attempted to fix it but to no avail. I told him that I'll take a shot at it since I've buffed out my own swirled-out car thanks to Meguiar's products and classes.
Started on this last weekend. First started with SwirlX and M83 (after washing and claying) and my G110 but that wasn't cutting it enough. Went to walmart and picked up some Ultimate Compound which helped, but was still pretty intensive. Took numerous passes with the G110. Even tried a 7207 pad on 5 and even a few times on 6. Ordered a 12 oz sampler size of M105 from ADS along with a few more pads and M205. Order came in Friday which allowed us to get back to work first thing on Saturday. Still took much of the day and several more hours on Sunday.
Some before shots:





And after:





Some final thoughts: M105 was wonderful. Gummed up quite a bit though after several uses. A fresh pad helped out a lot. M205 was really a great following act after the 105. Finished with NXT 2.0.
Didn't get it all on some panels. The hood has some curves that the G110 just couldn't get a good angle on but it's a vast improvement over what it was.
