I Have Severe Water Spots On My Paint . I Have Tried Waxing But No Luck. What Else Can I Try To Get The Water Spots Out?

 

You can try a polish on a DA. Try a polish with some cut, maybe like a megs #9, or there speed glaze. It'll get rid of swirls marks as well.

 

Meg's #9 has little to no cut... really not going to give you much help.

There are two types of water spots... a Class I and a Class II (or at least this is kind of how I was taught to deal with them).

A C.I. will be 'ABOVE' the paint whereas the C.II. will be etched into the paint. Both can be removed but, obviously, the second type is much more difficult...

Can you tell if the spots are ABOVE or IN the paint? Let us know...

I BELIEVE THEY ARE ABOVE THE PAINT.

 

Double check it... if it is, clay should be a very good option for removal. If there is a slight residual or if the spot has etched very slightly, you may try a product like Meguiar's Scratch-X to remove that.

You have the better of the two types... it's an easier fix.

Thanks, Ive tried all but the steel wool with no success. May need to get the polish and rotory. By the way thank you for all your past help. Just bought all detailing waxs etc. into my house to get them out of the cold garage. I remembered you posted that last year. Good reminder.

 

Thanks for that reminder... I'll post that one again now..

 

I have had real good luck using distilled vinegar with water spots that are the on the surface.

 

I tried that first with no success.

 

Some really harsh acid rain (or other industrial fallout) can etch glass.

Can you scrape them with your fingernail?

 

I cant scrape it with my finger nails but I tried it with a razor blade and got a lot of white resedue. My other cars and trucks dont look half as bad as my f150.
