A lot worse than I thought it would be! Managed to get maybe 90-95% of the marring out, the rest was too deep (Looks like someone hated this suv) Started with #83, but didn`t like how it was working, so I went back to SSR2.5 to finish my bottle off.



Wash

Clay

Megs #83 / SSR2.5 on Orange LC Pad

Megs #9 on White LC pad

Klasse SG

S100



On the engine:

Diluted Simple Green spray down and agitate

Dressed with 303 Aerospace

Clearcoat failure? Looks like what I saw on another post on someones Civic; little rice grain shaped white marks.
