I've been working on the paint for some time now, learning how to buff the paint to like new condition (cheaper then a paint job). SO after trying different compounds and polishes and different pads and sizes I finally found my winning combo. Spent about 5 hours on it today and got 90% of it cleaned up.
Tools and Products used:
Ultimate Detailing Machine (a copy of the PC 7424 with a stronger motor)
Menzerna Super Intensive polish
Top Of the Line's Bubble Bathe car soap
Lake Country 5'' CCS pads (orange & white)
The damaged paint (swirls and water spots etched into the paint)

And the fix....

Still need the roof and both bumpers to work on but I'm happy with the resuts thus far.

DAMN!! That's freakin impressive. Thanks for that list, i'll make sure I get all of that to keep it looking that good. Swirl marks and water spots suck, especially on my red paint.

Thank you, the car soap you actually have to order it isn't sold in stores. Megs Gold Class car soap works great as does Durogloss #901 cherry soap (Napa and carquest carry Durogloss).
