Ok...I decided to seek professional help (for my car...not me). Two out of three people said that it appears to be in the paint, and suggested a complete respray of the car. One company says he thinks he can get most of the defects out, but of course the diclaimer that he can not gaurantee all...

When I said passes in my earlier post, I did not mean I went over the car (ir area) 4 times, then wiped the polish off. I mean that I did a complete XMT3 with an orange pad until the polish was broken down, and removed with a MF cloth 4 seperate times. Each time (appprox 2x2 area) took 4-5...
