Alot of times you can get most of it out using a polisher, works much better than by hand as long as you know what you are doing. Wet sanding may help also.

I finally got the waxing done and all went well. No issues with the stripes or anything. Haven't pulled it out of the garage to really see it shine but even my wife just poking her head in the garage said it looks shinnier. I'll try to get some decent pics when I finally can pull it out on a nice sunny day.

Here's what I tried 2 weeks ago.
Clay bar for the 1st time, awesome result, it's so smooth.






The 24karats detailler ( cleaner and restorer ) are perfect to restore the wiper plastic bezel, it's look like new...
