Boy am I happy I have a silver Boxster, much easier to detail. My son got just a 1998 Jetta that is a dark blue/purple sort of color. He wanted us to do a machine polish/wax job on the finish like I have done on the Boxster. When I clayed, machine polished and waxed the Boxster, it became like a new car, as the finish had not been maintained by previous two owners.
We got out all the gear and did the machine polish/wax thing, but man are those dark colors harder to finish and keep clean. His car looks much better, but now that its detailed, problems in the finish have appeared. He has some waterspots on the hood that we could not get out using Griot's machine polish 2.
The finish on the car clearly had not been taken care of by its previous owner. Any ideas on how to get out those water spots. I am reluctant to use too agressive of a polish for fear of going through the clear coat. I have a new apprediation for the work that goes into detailng the dark colors. Any ideas on the waterspots, thanks,
