I waxed it a couple of months ago the next day it rained and the sun come out and left little water spots in the paint.
I had to buff the marks out, then rewax it with a different wax just in case.
But it done three times now.

apart from getting it clear coated is there anything I can do?

I've been reading through some of the other post's and I think I've just polishing it and not sealing it.

I used T cut colourfast the first time and the second time it was called liquid gold,the last time it was called finishing glase

so I need to buff out the water spots first then polish it with some decent polish and then wax it a couple of times with some decent stuff?

do I have to use the clay stuff if I'm going to buff it any way?
