That was the main issue with the Quattroporte, the horizontal panels were covered in mineral deposits and acid rain etching, you can either spend a few weeks chasing down to the bottom of them, or you can sand them out, and make damn sure those contaminants don't have the opportunity to embed themselves in your paint system again.

^ Thanks, Brian. I definately want to you to look at it an advise which way to go. There is definately some etching in the paint from sap, bird poop, and acid rain. I have used Turtle Wax polishing compound on a 9" random orbital buffer. Took alot off, but I know it is a very conservative approach. I am alway afraid of burning through the clear or paint. Never thought you could sand down an OEM finish. Wow!
