Then i used mothers detailer and that got rid of most of it, tho it took a lot of elbow grease. In a few weeks i'll have to clay it, but for now it looks awesome. I can't believe i almost passed on this car because of the color, (graphite pearl EXL coupe)which i now like more than the silver i was going to get. The thing looks awesome !
By the way, to anyone who is debating whether to get the leather version or cloth, trust me on this........get the leather. You won't realize how much better it is till you take the car home. But believe me, It's more than worth it. The power 8 way seat adjustment is amazing too, but again you won't understand till you have it, and it only comes with leather.
I never noticed a huge difference between just applying a single product (wax) before and after. It wasn't until I got into detailing, and using all the steps (clay, medium polish, light polish, glaze, and protectant) that I fully knew how well a car could look.
Autopia.org should provide you with top notch information. And if you have any questions, the people there won't steer you wrong. You may even find a detailer near you that wouldn't mind going out and showing you a few things (I know I do this for people near me, and my boss does it as well). We really like detailing.
