You could always do a light polish like Megs M205 or Optimum Polish, these will bring out more shine and reflection, take out light swirls and scratches plus clean your paint. It really depends on how bad the waterspots are, they might come out with something light. You won't really know until you start working on them.

Thanks for the advice Juztang. To be honest, one of the reasons I've hesitated on buying your wax is because I've wondered if it's just something inexpensive with a fancy packaging, a new label, and aggressive marketing. Either way I'm sure it's great wax and your personal advice on the forums makes it worth the extra $$ as far as I'm concerned. I'll be ordering some!

I guarantee you will be happy with the products, they are really popular on all of the forums that I sponsor. I've never had a complaint about any of the products I carry.
The good thing about ordering from us is that I'm always here to help and will always help out with any questions. You can contact me on here or give me a call anytime at 217-304-7294.

Most of the stuff that I carry can only be purchased online. I own www.obsessivedetail.com and www.theragshack.com. Mustang forum members get a 10% discount on both websites, products that are already discounted and buffer packages are the only things that don't count towards the discount.

I tried ordering "Road Trip Grime Destroyer", but said "server error". Is that product discontinued?

Yes, I'm not carrying that product anymore.

If you are looking for a product for bugs and road grime that is really cost effective, you should try my Obsessive Detail Bug Blaster. This comes fully concentrated and you can use as a wash or you can dilute it down to 6 parts water and one part product in a spray bottle. I only use it in the spray bottle, I spray it on and let it dwell for a few seconds and then bugs and road grime come off with ease. One 16 oz. bottle will dilute down to make well over a gallon of product.

Thanks Juztang. I know this has been asked a million times, but what are the steps to detailing the finish? Is it:

Wash
Bug and tar remove
Clay
Polish
and finally Wax?

Correct

I pretreat the areas with bug and tar and remove all of that while I'm washing.

My '11 kona blue GT looks good after I use zymol cleaner wax, which includes: carnauba wax, beeswax, vitamin E, aloe vera, banana-coconut extracts, and almond meal. Sometimes I can't decide if I want to use it for my car or drink it.
