that turtle wax ice liquid stuff works pretty well. I removed 2 year old door ding paint from my girlfriends car the other day with it

you should have done a side by side comparison! ;)

i think are a lot of solutions, but comparing liquid clay to traditional clay... i don't know... I would stick with the traditional clay... :(

in your case, either paint cleaner, rubbing compound, or traditional clay bar would work too...

I'm sure traditional clay would work better, but since I don't know what I'm doing I'll stick to the less effective but less likely to **** something up method

I used some meguires scratch x swirl remover it works but not sure I want to use it over large area my hood and roof has a fair amount of overspray and this stuf only comes in small tubes.Going to put buffer and wax to it first then maby acid wash herd that works for hard water stains maby ill have some luck with that any opinion on acid wash?

swirl remover basically remove a thin layer off of your clear coat and that is why it works. by waxing the car won't make it any better. you are just adding a layer over it. use clay bar or paint cleaner from meguires.

i am not sure what acid wash is, it sounds pretty bad and I would avoid it....

have you tried ACETONE? i work in a paint shop and we take off alot of overspray wiht it... it will screw up/eat some plastics.... but it will not eat through cured clear coats......
