There is a lady down the street from me with one of these, she smoked liek a chimney in it and I bet it hasn't been washed since it was new. Such a shame to see a nice Mach go down the drain

I mean... how else can you get rid of the itty bitty water spots the chamois leaves behind?
Honestly, in the rare occasion that I do get a water spot (If I have to drive through a sprinkler or something and it dries before I can get to it), it wipes right off. And this is after 4 months of the same wax job. Same with bird shit. I got bird shit on my car a few days ago and it baked on, I was pretty pissed. Got home, sprayed some swissvax detail spray on it, and it wiped off without a trace. Water would have probably taken it off just as easy, I just didn't want to risk a scratch. Detail spray has lubricity.
I wish my paint was in new condition on my Si. I've done almost all I can with it and it still looks horrid. I'm starting to wetsand and buff it, it's a little better but still isn't nice like I want it.

Try some solvent,quick on,quick off a wet rag.Thats what i use when there is overspray on cars at work,but its been more to the eye than to the hand. Id give it a try anyways.
By the way,try the solvent and since you work at a shop get done whats called a enviormental wax,its cheap,inexpensive and damn good,its a thick ass wax.

Cars dont come into your bay with overspray dude.
Solvent will most definately melt the wax and dull the underlying paint.
In this situation I would slap the shit out of whoever did it, and find the highest quality claybar and 'lube'. At hall we used ADS (Advanced dealer services). The clay itself was pretty good, it was very fine and did good at getting the smaller things out of paint.

That shit seriously pisses me off when I see it. I wanted a Screaming Yellow Mach1, but couldn't get one because crack whores like that, beat me to the punch.
