Help with etching - DetailCity.org

I need a little help with an etching problem on my Mach 1. For the first attempt I tried Meg's Speed Glaze with a Propel Green Pad (2 passes). Second attempt was with Four Star SMR with Propel Yellow Pad (3 passes). I'm I going in the right direction, or I'm I way off. Please help. I'll post some pics; hopefully you can see what I'm talking about.

hard to say from the picture alone but before you try anything that you may be sorry for later down the road I would get Valugards ABC system. If it doesn't remove those spots nothing will short of a possible wetsanding and buffing.

I would try a 50/50 mix of distilled vinegar and water to remove the minerals in the stain that are causing the etching. I have had great success with poorboysworld SSR2.5, It's a medium abrasive that breaksdown to work like a polish. I would use a PC if you have one, and then it still my take a few passes but be patient. You can go right from SSR2.5 to your favorate LSP.
