Mean water spots - help?
Its been quite a while since I've washed my car (more than 3 weeks for sure) until today. Before then, it had rained on my car, even with the top down one time. But lazy me, I didn't wash my car after it rained. Terrible water spots formed, but I always thought it could be removed, until I found out today that I couldn't. After washing my car, I noticed the water spots from the time it rained on my car had not been removed. I washed the area again, and water spots still there. I even tried zaino claybar to see if the spots can be removed, but was still there! I'll try to wash my car more often now. What should I do to remove those terrible water spots? I'll post pictures of it if I have to.

Couple of things u can try: (*Note: You'll need to rewax/zaino after this)
First (easiest) thing to try is using Vinager and apply it like you would wax-- small area, wash after... see if that removes them.
Second: Buy some Clay... Dawn (soap) wash the car, then clay the areas.
Hope that helps and good luck,
Aaron

Never dull fantastic on water spots ...... WARNING: I have used it only on the windows, Tail and head lights and Exhaust pipes to remove water spots ... I would try an inconspicuous are of the paint first

Thanks you guys! I will give it a shot hopefully soon. So after using vinegar looks like I gotta dawn the bumper again and re-zaino, rite? What is this 'never dull' you guys are talking about?

This is my favorite thing about these water spot threads. They usually end up suggesting using vinegar (it's the acid, by the way, that makes it work - so why would you want less acid?). Then, follow the vinegar with *water*.
But it was *water* that caused the problem in the first place! So I guess the process is:
1. use vinegar to remove the spots
2. use water to remove the vinegar
3. goto 1
BTW, some vinegar in grocery stores is 4% acid. It's the cheap stuff. (If you are canning pickles, you're supposed to avoid the 4% stuff since it may not provide the protection against microbes you want.)
