i know this is my fault and know what i did wrong. in a nutshell, i bit off too much of a job and couldn't get it done and then got a couple of business calls i had to handle from home while i was in the middle of this. so here's what i did...
i was trying to get my black buick grand national slicked up for one of the years final cruises. people here that know me know i'm a newbie to car detailing... i can build you a racecar but i'm probably not your first choice to detail your car unsupervised. i had claybarred the trunk and hood and then green pad S&H product it and then fine machine polish and sealed it. so last night i claybarred the roof, and today claybarred the rest of the car. then i did the whole car with the green stuff. ran out of gas and couldn't do anymore so the car is covered in compound dust and i thought ''ok.. i'll just wash the car off and get the dust off..'' i did with adams car shampoo and the did a pooling rinse and then'.... RING.... phone goes off and i'm stuck having to deal with something. when i was done it hit me the black cars sittin out in the sun and is water spotted to crap... i wiped it down a little and that didn't help and tried using some detail spray but the car is now so hot the spray just steams off.
so... what do i do now? i'm thinking i just need to go to machine polish and continue until i get it sealed. i know, i shouldn't have been so energetic and done so much at one time. but i was trying to get a lot done today so saturday i could go to a cruise and have it shimmer and wear my new adams t shirt and impress everybody. now i'm afraid adam or lynn is gonna call me and tell me they want to buy my new shirt back cause i'm an embaressment...
is my idea of just not worrying about the spots and continuing with a clean car with the next step and the spots will come off? i'm concerned cause when i green stuffe it i took all the existing wax off.
