OP,
How is it going with the water spots? I have the same issue. Actually i think mine is worse. I have polished the car with the DA and i still have some water spot etching that one can only see under the sun at certain angles. I was told to try wheel cleaner on a microfiber towel to try to remove the water spots then follow that with a compound and polish. Any suggestions here? This situation is really irritating because I have no swirl marks whatsoever so the paint looks good until your eye catches the water spots.. the spots aren't even white really. They are just etching marks really. I don't want to have to pay to get the cr wet sanded and re clear coated again.

I bought this SB3 Destroy and it did nothing. I took it to the body shop I use and they showed me Meguiar's ScratchX. A small amount applied by hand too the test spot out. All areas were cleaned of spots.

That being said, if you only polished instead of compounding and polishing than I would 100% try compounding and polishing instead of just polishing. I was not able to remove the spots with just a polish. Also this isn’t something that will require a wet sand and certainly won’t require a reclear. Something my research showed me though was wheel acid works extremely well however I wouldn’t feel comfortable putting that on my paint. Wheel acid is different than wheel cleaner. |

I know what you mean here. This car was thought me to be more accepting and stop worrying about small things.. yeah well i have wheel cleaner that is safe for clear coated wheels. I might try a small area. I might try the scratch X shown earlier too.
