Water mark help!

[Horney]

Washed the MX5 today and ended up with water marks in the paint on the bonnet. The pic below is not my car but it's exactly the same.



It seems to be in the paint as no amount of SRP will even make a difference, tried three goes on one section with no joy.

Any ideas before I get fed up and get the bonnet re-painted? So so gutted as the car looks great and then the bonnet looks sh!te.

Hi Nick long time no see;)

pop round and see guy and get him to run the machine over it with some finishing polish on a medium cut pad which should sort it then get it sealed up with some good durable sealant or a hybrid wax, couple of layers should be enough;)

Cheers dude, think I'll give him shout.

How's things?

if only this was the case!! 

had to remove about 20um and resort to using G3 to get the job done... several hits with that and heavy cut pad, followed by removing the holograms and swirls with a polishing pad and finishing polish did the job... took ages but I got there in the end 

two coats of jetseal 109 and a final coat of swissvax and it looks like new

used mirage.. i like it and gave the bonnet a coat of that as a treat! 

nick will take pics I am sure once the rest of the car is complete... it all needs a once over but should be not much more than that!

hopefully
