This was the only picture of the water etching i could find consistently get. The car was covered in traces of etching. From the pics below i am beginning to think the car was wet sanded to remove the etching. Many of the area`s were super thin. So much so i did not want to compound heavily.

On to the claying.
This is the first pass of a 16x16 inch area on the roof. In all i clayed that same section 3 times. it was still pretty mediocre. The car had alot of pitch/sticky pollen tar. I ended up having to step up to a solvent to remove 95% of that goo.

This is a heavy duty clay. It is a bit more abrasive. This cemented the need to step up to solvent. This pass was my 3rd pass before the solvent was used.
