The hardest hard water spots you will ever see!
So my buddy knows I have a PC and am fairly good at making cars look good. So he brings me his girlfriends mustang to remove some hard water spots. After a dawn wash and claybar I decided to try some water and vinegar, which did absolutely nothing. So I broke out the PC, white pad and FMP, nothing. Switched to the orange pad with SHR, nothing! After an hour on just the hood scoop this is as far as I got. I had to admit defeat
 . Here are some pics of the car. The whole car looks like this. Any suggestions for him?

Forward a PM to Junkman. If anyone can fix it, he's your man. Seriously.

This requires professional intervention. Find a local professional who actually knows what they are doing and let them fix it. Wet sanding is always the last resort for something like this.

So Junkman, would the PC be able to fix this given the right pad/compound combo? And if so what are they?

Let's put it this way. One pass with a rotary may be equivalent to 20-40 passes with the PC. But hey, the PC is a hell of a lot safer!
