This red kia rio came with plenty of watermarks despite the owner's efforts to apply wax once every 2 wks. Proof was is the harden white reside in almost every corner and gap. There were also some whiten parts on the car's many black claddings.

 

Pics of the bonnet before:

Luckily, the verticle panels of the car had only minor scratches and wash lines that saved me a few hours. [sweatdrop]

 

Process as per follows:

 

1) Wash and clay

2) Rotary with lambswool pad with Powergloss

3) rotary with white polishing pad and PO106ff

4) Pc with orange lc pad and IP for the verticle panels.

 

Some before and after pics:

If you look at the last 2 pics, some watermarks are still visible as its not feasible to do a 100% removal as it might just thin the clearcoat way too much.
