Dear Mike,
I'm wondering if you could comment on the product choices I have planned to fix the problems (swirls, RIDS, water spots, general embedded gunk) in the paint of my brand new car.
I'm a HUGE fan and have spent a couple of weeks reading many of your articles and watching your videos - excellent stuff!
The car is a 2017 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth.
Pics of the car:

It looks good from afar, but far from good. Here are some pics of the flaws:

and here are the products I plant to use (I already purchased the polish and compound locally (I tried by hand first - no go) and understand there are probably better choices but for consumables I'm trying to work with what is available locally here in Canada as shipping and brokerage fees are killer).

1. Do my choices look reasonable?
2. Do you think I stand a reasonable chance of success with these products in correcting the faults shown?
Thanks so much,
Bill
