Thread: Removing mild water spots.

I know this question has likely been asked multiple times, but this situation doesn't call for drastic measures as other members unfortunately experienced.

Because I happen to leave my car parked overnight by the sprinkler system (which has yet to be adjusted (not mine)), the whole passenger side of my car unfortunately is stained with water spots the next morning. Usually the following weekend I will proceed to wash my car (normal wash + quick detail) and notice the spots are mildly etched onto the surface with a slightly rough feel.

My question is what would be the best solution to rid the water spots and how to follow up upon removal (re-wax, clay, etc..).

I'm in a rush, so please excuse the crappy grammar.


*Yes, I know I should park somewhere else, but most of the time I don't have an option.

wash, vinegar wipe down (wash after), Waterspot remover from chemical guys (wash well after), clay, light polishing, re-wax (must)....any or all of these in that order

Thank you!

I have tried a 1:1 Water/Isopropyl Alcohol and it was pretty effective at removing water marks.
