I had forgotten the nightmare that is a black car and water spots. :)
What are you guys using to get them out EASILY? I'm a big fan of Liquid Glass polish, and the car looks great but some of the spots remain.

Personally, I gave up! LOL
Before buying my SS, I had worse problems with the Altima 3.5 I had (another black car) and when I went to see my SS I said I didn't want another one until I saw mine and feel for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kirk or Norcal will be along to give you a step-by-step. However with good microfiber towels, something that doesn't water spot easily like a rinseless, and a waffle weave towel to dry , it should leave no new watermarks. To get out watermarks that were there, is going to require probably A two-stage polish.
If They are really bad , it's going to take an in-line purification system in the water supply. Do exactly what the link below about rinseless tells you to do , and you'll never have another NEW watermark. |

Can rain produce water marks, if the car is outside, gets rained on and dries?

your car is dusty, then it rains a little, not enough to rinse off the dust. I call this "dirt rain" because it looks like it rained muddy water. your car doesn't have any protection. your car gets sprayed with water by lawn sprinklers, road maintenance hose, etc. To remove those tough water stains that have already etched, it requires polishing. You should try washing, detail spray, and even claying first to see if it can be removed. I'd be glad to provide a step by step but I would need to know if you have a polisher, any polishes, etc. I like to try to get the job done with product I have on hand without ordering more stuff if possible .

CarPro Spotless actually works pretty good at getting some of those stubborn spots out without polishing. I made a youtube video a few months ago showing the results.

The added benefit is way less scratches and less washing. This stuff is no joke. I did a post about it in the "car care section". |
