First, let me give some background on what I started with. My boss had to travel to NYC from Philly a few weeks ago and had to park under the train station. It rained, and A LOT of rail dust & unknown crud dripped on his car and produced nasty acid/etching marks over the entire car. When he returned, he complained to the parking lot manager. The manager said this was a common problem and offered to clean it. They did, with toilet bowl cleaner + soft scrub, and nylon toilet bowl brushes. He about sh** his pants when they finished. He had TONS of scratches from the brushes + most of the spots didn't lift. The week after that he had his driveway sealed. The folks that sealed the drive didn't bother to close his garage door and the back 1/3 of his car got coated with driveway sealer overspray. I clayed the car (3 bars) which removed the sealer overspray and a lot of the rail dust goo. Next I applied SSR2.5 with a yellow edge 2000 pad (rotary on the tops & PC on the sides). I followed up with another coat of SSR2.5 with a blue edge 2000 pad. Then 1 coat of PwC with an edge 2000 blue pad via PC. I topped it with EX-P, using a black edge pad via PC. I removed about 95% of the defects. A few spots probably need to be wet sanded, compounded, polished, etc... but I didn't have time (or the nerve) for that.
