08 vette w/ 5k miles...The hackin' just never stops
This is from the hood of an 08 vette w/ 5k miles.
Client bought it a few weeks ago, it has some water spots. so upon the recommendation of someone. He hires a "detailer" aka hack to try and get the water spots out of the hood.
Client was gone while this was being done.
When client returns a few hours later, he asks the hack WTF are you doing? Hack claims he can fix it.
Client smells pot in his garage.
Hack denies that he is smoking pot.
Client tells him to get the F out!!!
Hack says he can fix everything.
Client says I am going to call the sheriff.
Hack leaves....
Best that the client can figure, this hack went at it with an air sander and 1500/2000 discs (He found them in the garage.) Then tries to polish it out.
Bret will be here at 8am. Wash, clay and then finally I get some use out of my Defelsko PosiTector 200 Series (Advanced.)
Some of the pigtails look very deep. Client is aware that it might not be fixable without removing too much clear coat.
This is the hood, but the front fenders and nose is like this too.

We stopped a little early so I could watch my Steelers win. 
Tomorrow I will give it a good wash and a few coats of zaino.
I'm pretty sure that the client will now sleep at night.
A big thanks to Bret for all his help.

That Vette was quite a challenge but after 10+ hours of polishing, it came out fantastic.
I've got to say, the paint was in terrible condition when I first saw it. I was very worried that we would not be able to fully correct the damage and restore the paint. I could not believe someone would be that irresponsible and incompetent to damage a car to this extent.
Thanks for the call, Bryan. Another successful restoration in the books!!
