    Hard to see, but these water spots were etched into the paint. The worst I think I've ever seen! Obviously couldn't get them all out but we got them about 80%better.

              Wow! Awesome work, Nick. I want to say "as always", but at this point, that should be a given. You're an artist.

              If you don't mind sharing, what was your method? Rotary or DA? Wool or foam pads?

              BTW, great to see you recovering so well from your surgery for spinal stenosis!

                Interesting car. Was it hard to get that correction?

                  Even if you weren't able to get it all out, still looks amazing.

                    Thanks guys!

                    Method was M105 rotary with a Purple Foamed wool. Water spots were wet sanded, then buffed. Then M105 rotary with a green CCS pad. Then M205 with a Meg's finishing pad. Topped with Wet Diamond.

                    At first I really didn't care for the car, but after spending 3 days with it, it kind of grew on me. 1200 made over a 10 year span(I think). Not sure how many are left today.

                          Like a mirror Nick!

                          I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

                          I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
                          Remove swirls my friends.
