just to add more info on this subject...today i got my wife's si back from the dealer for the 3rd gear fix, and i washed it. this thing has always had a problem with water spots, and i think most of it originated from the time before she bought it. we use very soft water to wash the car. so for kicks i decided to try my 7424 with a basic orange pad and some optimum's basic polish. it's not very aggressive, but i just wanted to see what would happen since the clear on this thing seems so soft. i ran it pretty well into it, started at 3 to spread it and settled on 5-6 for a while going pretty slowly and getting a little bit of heat going. i was able to get down a little bit and show some improvement but this stuff is not aggressive enough, and i think the pad is a bit soft for the job as well. i believe if i spent alot more time, i'd probably be able to get it pretty decent, but it's obvious the time spent would be out of the practical range of sanity. i just have the wrong stuff. to avoid risking anything, i'm going to take it to a pro to get them to handle it initially, and i'll maintain it from here on out.
