2013 Flex...DIWS

[sixsix]

This is my wife's 2013 Ford Flex with the DIWS....Dealer Installed Water Spots. We bought it about 2 months ago and I finally got the chance to polish it today. I don't know where the water spots came from (sprinkler/rain) but they were very stubborn. I got most of them out with Wolfgang finishing glaze and a white ccs pad, but on the front fender I had to use the total swirl remover and a orange pad, but even after that they were still visible. The water spots were only on the front end(fenders/hood/headlights) and after a lot of time trying to get them off the front end, I just ended up doing the rest of the car with wolfgangs paintwork polish enhancer. And to my surprise that actually cut down on the water spots that were remaining. You can still see a few of them but I was tired and kinda gave up. I finished it off with wolfgangs deep gloss spritz sealant.

nice color on the flex and those are one of the nicest lookin' hatchbacks i've seen. do you plan on de-badging the flex emblems for a cleaner look and not to mention making it easier to polish as well?

[sixsix]

No the wife actually likes them. Id rather take off the roof rails more than anything. This is our second Flex, we traded a 2010 SE for this 13 Limited.
