Yes an iron remover, and I even will CAREFULLY clay a coated car on the sides (areas that get the most abuse)

1) polishing a coating may not completely remove the coating, however it usually affects the hyrophobics in a negative way (the whole reason coatings are awesome). So may still be protecting the paint but you don't get as much beading. 2) Beading of water is the easiest way to see if a coating...

I also have no idea what you're talking about...Surely there's proper terminology that could be used here? Love marks? That's a new one for me :)
