So my Black Vette has been a bit neglected the past year and developed a number of stubborn water spots and "graying" in spots. I tried everything in my bucket tricks and they did not work, I hired a detailer and all he did was hide them.
But now I think I have found the solution. I used Chemical guys Fiberglass polish and V36 cutting polish with a porter cable 7424XP set on high speed with some pressure applied to the pad. In my opinion the fiber glass polish worked better than the V36. The paint now looks almost new. I would definitely recommend the Fiberglass polish. |

McGuiars detailer and microfiber cloth. Also Mcguiars Ultimate Compound gently rubbing them out.

One of the first things I tried was Meguiars ultimate compound, it was not effective, these stains were bad! I have always liked the Meguairs products but this time they did not work, nor did Meguiars Mirror Glaze 2.

Yes thats the stuff. See the link below
https://www.chemicalguys.com/phase-5...RoCEj8QAvD_BwE Mind you my issues were pretty severe I think, I spent a bunch of last year in the hospital and had no time or ability to address the car so it got rained on a few times. Someone would try to help me out by washing and waxing it, I really did appreciate that but they basically sealed in the spots and defects, so last week I started by washing it with Dawn, then claying it then using the "products". |

Isn’t fiberglass polish for gel coated finishes like on a
boat or hot tub? |

Well I had that issue with My Boss 302 Mustang and I tried all the cleaners compounds etc. then a friend of mine told me to use Distilled vinegar so I did and all the water spots came off. I wet the area then wiped it down with a damp vinegar micro fibre cloth and off came the water spot.
