Have you considered going with a more aggressive polish and/or pad?
I hit them with m105 and yellow pad (LC) initially. My worry is the damage in the clear coat since I don’t want to further it along. That being said I’ll try 205 but if it’s still not getting where I need I’ll drop it down and do a pass or two with 105 again.

So after blowing my coolant hose (the big hydra one) I spent wed taking things apart. I am honestly shocked how easy the car was to work on with minimal panels having to be removed.

I did have expert oversight but wow I really didn’t mind working on it (HATED working on the Bmw).

Very cool, glad you are doing it yourself! Storms are almost over here...
Well temps are great, long drive was fine up until I pulled into my driveway and had billowing steam. The cap actually popped off the expansion tank. Ordered new cap- all temps were fine other wise weirdly enough.

Realized I was actually gallons low and that caused the low volume of coolant to boil- cap was likely loose but I swapped tank caps and ordered a new

Made it to Naples for the mustang show at the local ford! No issues- love the fact I can fix the car on my own.

Dang! That's just up the street from me! Wish I would've known, would have stopped over and intro'd myself!
Yeah was over at Galloway ford, hey next time we roll over there I’ll send up the bat signal

^^^^Deal! LOL
Can’t wait for the before and after pics!
60,000 miles has definitely taken a toll- all hoses and tanks are finally getting replaced (only thing left is Roush OE look bubbler tank)
