Any insight on where I can start my detail arsenal.
I would recommend a PC or Flex tool (orbital)
some good pads

either

Einszett Paint and Einszett Glanz Wax

or

Menzerna's starter kit and Einszett Glanz.

Let me know what your budget is and I can build you a kit.

no dice on the vinegar solution unfortunately man. dont know what else i can do. i've just been ignoring it and pretending they're not there up to this point. i'll try to get some decent pics up here for you later today to see what it's all about.

if you may have another solution, I would certainly appreciate it. gonna need some sort of swirl/minor scratch remover as well anyway if i do order something.

pics please. I would have to say its etched in there.

you can try leveling out the paint but it will take down some clear.

couldnt get any from the outside for the spots to be actually visible. probably because of the flash. you can see them most and best from the inside but they are still possible to see from a good angle on the outside. thanks for any input...

it goes in my garage every day/night (or basically any time that im home). otherwise, its also normally parked at my school parking lot. (absorbing a lot of sun during those times if thats whats your wondering since there are no trees around for any shade). however, still, its mostly in the garage though.

wait a minute...under the tint?!? that just made think of something. could it be that the damn tint guys may have caused them. im not too familiar with the process of tinting, but i know they use a large amount of water/glue solution for applying them on. may have to look into that if that is a possibility since im under warranty.

I have gotten noticable amount of overspray on my car from a nearby business. I have been able to remove it from the paint with no problem. My question is how would you remove it from the rubber trim below the windows? Thanks much

do you have a picture of it or is it just rough to touch?

you can either try a clay bar but lube it the area a ton and gently go over it.

or better get some 3m adhesive remover that should do it.
