I ended up just leaving them. If you zoom on the 2nd photo, they're still there. I think they were for camper stabilizers at some point?

After reading through the link provided from Autogeek, I changed back to the terry cloth (was using microfiber). Works awesome! Much like I remember.

I'll get pics of the car to Bruce once I get through it all.

Thanks to all who contributed!

I'm glad you found Mike's article helpful and had success with cotton! He's been a mentor to me since his days with Meguiars. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to PM me.

There's no one size fits all with polishing paint, it is definitely an art. On the other end of the Chevy truck spectrum is this green Super with just 43k miles. The paint just needed scratches and swirls removed when I purchased it. The paint had just a light haze over it that can be seen in the first couple photos. If memory serves me, I treated this one to Meguiars 205 & yellow foam pad and topped with Souveran carnuba for that silky, wet look. I'm mentioning all this because your Corvette might just benefit from a light machine polish for defect removal and a topcoat of a quality carnuba wax?
