If you want to remove the Buttery Wax with a Dual Action/Random Orbit short throw machine (Porter Cable, etc, not a Swirl Killer or Rupes, or rotary) place a quality MF towel under a soft, clean foam pad (a white pad would be, OK, a black or red pad would be better), set the machine to a low speed, and buff away!
The short throw recommendation is mine, without experimentation. Adam used to recommend this method to remove paste wax, but I don't think it would work well with a long throw machine.
What he said...................... Use ceramic spray or H2O G&G way easier.

I wash mine with my other towels using microfiber revitalizer.

I treated my tonneau cover on my truck with no issues. Actually darkened it up a bit.

I've lived in Florida all my life. Since 1970, on Merritt Island, Less than 4 miles from the beach. I see you said you live on A1A you need to have a garage or car and motorcycle covers, there is no way around it. The salt and sand blowing directly off the beach can and will destroy stuff in a short time. There is no product that I have found that will keep anything clean living on the beach!
The only solution is to keep it covered or in the garage.

I use H20 G&G on my exterior handles and mirrors,use the dry method, apply it kinda thick and buff immediately works like a charm.
Plus when it rains you dont have to reapply.

Got real lucky, no major damage, had to fix the fence and clean up lots of branches, no roof damage or damage to the house. We have water and electricity back on. So no more Adam's bucket brigade
I've lived in the same house since 1993 and by far this was the worst for the duration it lasted. It got real crazy in between 1 am and 330 am. with the wind and debris hitting the boards on the windows I thought for sure I was going to have more damage. If you have never been through a hurricane the noise is like nothing you've heard before between the howling wind for hours stuff hitting the house and exploding transformers, It damn near sounds like a war zone to my best description.
I'm just glad everyone is alive and well.

That was one wild ride. Living on Merritt Island, east central Florida. We got hit pretty hard no power or water is of now. I hope all the others in the Adam's family are doing good. On another note my wash buckets are coming in handy for me and my neighbors, using them to fill with well water to flush the toilets. Hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do
Stay safe

Does it have a roof rack and did you run the buffer over it?

I would be curious if it has to do with the aluminium body. I would be careful generating too much heat during a paint correction, this sub-strait is a new animal to us.

I think it has to do with the towels, and the water evaporating with the D.S. being present. Because of the heat, I had it happen to me last summer "I live in FL." What I did to correct the issue was dry the car completely then go back over with D.S. and clean towels to remove any water spots. Give it a try it worked for me.

I never wash my VRT blocks or my tire applicator, I keep both in containers and reuse, I'm testing my tire applicator to see how long it will last because my one dollar cotton sponge lasted well over a year.
I put mine in a freezer zip lock, have one for tire shine and one for vrt. from my experience the vrt lasts longer than the tire shine applicator. I usually get 6 to 8 months of use before replacing.

That's an awesome car. I would love to detail some exotics just so I could stare at them when I'm done. Where's the pictures of you sitting in it, and with the Adam's products? L.O.L.

I put my air fresheners down by the a\c intake, below the glove box I run The a/c on recirculate. When I don't smell it any more I'll take it and put in a ziplock bag and spray it with detail spray let it sit and soak it up overnight. Then put it back in good as new.

On tires with big lugs I take and cut the foam block applicators to a size that fits in between the lugs to make it easier to apply. Hope this makes sense.

The Products work on my fiberglass revel trailer. I dont see a difference with your boat, unless its clear coated. I the main thing is make sure you have all the oxidation off before applying any product.
I use buttery wax and H2O on mine.

I have a chrome frame on my dd plate so I picked up the chrome look screw caps to cover the screws. They don't come off unless you take them off.
And the frame on the Vette is custom painted, so I bought the same caps, and then painted them to match the frame. I like the covers. Got them at Auto Zone or Advance, or even Wal Mart sells them.
I did the same as Rich, But I put a drop of silicone sealant under the plastic cap to keep the moisture out.

the stuff works awesome on just about any fabric, I use it as a pre wash for stained clothes couple of squirts to remove stains then toss into the washer.

That pic is hard to define, looks a little strange for burn through, we need a larger pic. To me it kinda looks like there was some contamination on the clear coat causing the damage.

3M eraser wheel is the best option, but be sure to hold it flat on the surface or you will burn through the paint fast if you dont pay attention.
Another good home remedy is a small rag soaked with WD40 and wet the striping with it let sit it will loosen it up enough to start peeling off.
If the paint is darker under the striping, you'll have painted on pin striping, just the opposite of ghost graphics lol

Mine are plastic, I use car wash soap, dry then VRT makes cleaning the next time that much easier.

0000 steel wool and glass cleaner should work, if not you can try a wad of neverdull with some wd-40 sprayed on it, sounds crazy but it works.
The neverdull and wd-40 can polish faded headlights too.

Just like MitchPI above, I use it on windows, mirrors and chrome. Works awesome.
