Re: How to correct these defects?
I would like to know what to use on that white stain as well.. Many friends suggested to go with HF (hydro floric?) it's an acid so if i may get a second opinion would be great thanks before

Re: How to correct these defects?
I've seen stains very similar to that before. I usually see them around the windshield wiper fluid dispensers on the hood. I typically just take them out with polish or compound. I guess it depends how bad they are.

Where do these stains usually come from? I would understand if the affected area is near a possible source of chemical leak or something, but mine is on the roof, I don't understand what caused that.
What type of polish/compound did you use?

Re: How to correct these defects?
Werent you the guy that had damage to the front from a NYC snow plow? I would suggest moving if you want to keep that thing nice.
As far as the defect, it looks like water or chemical stain. Try polishing it out. Start with something like Ultimate Compound. Did you ever get a polisher?

Yes Shelby, that's me. Nice suggestions there but I'll take my chances here in NYC. Besides, my work is here in the city, I won't be able to afford auto detailing if it wasn't for this.
I don't have an Ultimate Compound, although I have the Megs 105 & 205. I believe those two should work nicely as well. Yes I did get a polisher! I got the GG 6" Polisher with a set LC CCS pads.

For both defects start by using the M105 by hand with a microfiber applicator pad.
Why?
Because you can exert more force with a few of your fingers pushing down on a microfiber applicator pad than you can with a foam buffing pad on a DA Polisher.
Remover or improve the defects as best as you can by hand and the re-buff by machine to remove any fingermarks you may have instilled.

I figured there was no chance to get a "New Yorker" out of New York. I was just messin' with ya.
105 is very similar to Ultimate Compound. UC is a little easier to work with, but, similar cut. The 105/205 combo should work just fine.
