Need some help detailing my Mercedes C230

[johnand]

I started detailing my 2007 Mercedes C230 and need some help. It is just over 7 months old and has been washed by the dealer a few times, but the rest of the washes have been 2 bucket traditional washes by me, and a few ONR washes. The car has some pretty bad water spots and mild swirl marks. This is my 1st time using a porter cable.



Here is what I have done so far:



1)Cleaned the car with ONR.

2)Clayed the car with Sonus SFX clay and ONR as clay lube.

3)Started with 2 passes of Klasse AIO with porter cable on speed 4 with white Sonus SFX pad.



This resulted is removing almost all of the water spots and most of the swirls. What is left is some light scratches and scuffs. Just need some advice of what to try next.



Here are some (bad) pics:

This is after clay before any correction. The picture stinks and doesn`t show the swirls or water spots very well.

This is after the 2nd pass of Klasse AIO.



So, here are my thoughts of how to proceed:



1)Use a more agressive pad and/or speed with the Klasse AIO.

2)Buy another more aggressive polish (Maybe Optimum polish?)



Since I have quite a few full bottle of Klasse AIO and Klasse SG, I would like to use those up before getting more products.



Also, when using the porter cable, how should I handle the sharp curved areas like the hood pictured above? Should I stay away from the curves and do them by hand?
