    Water spots

    Thanks to all for your input. I will start with either cp spotless or ironx and go from there. Do I wash the car with regular car wash soap or dish soap prior to working on the car (would dish soap remove the jetseal)? Do you guys want me to keep you posted on the outcome?

    Water spots

    Yes, my wife used a small bucket with a mf towel and wiped the car. Should I try a vinegar/soap combo before purchasing 'car pro's spotless'? Regardless, do I need to do a previous step being that these parts have been sealed (jet seal)?

    Better results with 3" mf pad vs 6" mf pad

    Did you wet-sand and buff? Which Meg's compound did you use? Maybe the Menz 400 was not the way to go though it's a great product for correcting other defects.

    Better results with 3" mf pad vs 6" mf pad

    No offense taken. I see your point. I was going to give it a shot with the Dewalt but being that I have been waiting 15 years to get my Mustang back together after being stolen and completely stripped (minus the power train) I didn't want to risk doing some damage. If I ever have to...
