How NOT to add white highlights:
Courtesy of local tradie who dumped a load of paint on the road just before I changed lanes into it.

Too much traffic to see it before it was too late:

Went straight to local detailer where we spent an hour cleaning the already touch dry paint off with an appropriate solvent, a gurney, and elbow grease. No idea what sort of paint it was. White.

It came off. BUT now have lots of fine scratches down one side of the vehicle. Not too bad but it looks like someone has ****ed the paint cleaning it - presumably tiny flecks of dry paint have come off and then scratched the surface.
So now I want to try to recover the paint condition, which although I'm not an obsessive cleaner, was quite good - I managed to put similar marks on my SP23 once learning to clean it properly, so until now I'd managed to avoid any glaring swirls etc.
It's clean, and waiting for a wash and surface prep, which I am going to do this evening, followed by a thorough application of meguiars tech wax...
Reccommendations on procedure to get best result appreciated. Steps above and beyond shampoo + "claybar" + speed detail + wax or specific products to mask the fine scratching...
I have on hand to work with :
small amount of bug and tar remover
meguiars shampoo and conditioner
turtle wax liquid claybar
meguiars speed detailer
meguiars tech wax
meguiars gold wax
