Seems some on else is as picky as me.
I would have not paid him a dime and let him sue me for the $$.
Pictures of the 'process' would have backed up your 'services not rendered' claim.

Most of the time waterspots will come out with a polisher and a compound. If it doesn't work with that, they might be etched into the paint and it will have to be wetsanded. I've had to do this a few times on customer vehicles.

The guy didn't use anything special at all. He washed and waxed it. As far as letting him sue me, I should have but I don't feel like dealing with all that. I should have never went to him in the first place.

yeah, you would have had much better results by using a clay bar and a decent polish and a nice coat of wax on top of that. If you feel like bringing it up to NC one day, I can take care of them for you. haha.
