Paint repair suggestions
A former owner of my car repainted only 3/4 of it :nonod: and now
the rear deck (which is I presume original paint) is developing what looks
like water spots. I tried to compund them out, but no luck.
Can anyone recommend something that would restore the paint to
a semi-presentable appearance ?
Someone suggested wet sanding with 2000 grit sandpaper, but this
sounds really harsh.
Anyone got any advice ?

Uh, wet sanding would be my advice too. Sounds like oxidation. If you wet sand and buff you may be able to restore the gloss for a short while. Usually once paint starts to "go" like this it's a progressive process that's near impossible to stop.
