Are you getting water spots after you wash your car? Wash your car when it's cool and in the shade

or are they already there and you can't get them out? Use a clay bar.

Spots on WHITE paint. Bizzare, that's usually one color that doen't show.

It may be due to hard water or "grey" recycled water.

I agree about using the Clay but that is a lot of work.

Try two things:

1. Use a detailing mist after you wash the car. Forces you to go over the
car yet once again but usually works.

2. The NEW Mr. Clean system for washing REALLY WORKS!!!
This uses a liquid soap (theirs of course) and a final rinse of ionized water
that causes the water to sheet off the car instead of spot up. I get very
few spots with this system.

I have a black perl paint ind it it TERRIBLE for spots. Try not to wash in the hot
sun as well (1st thing in the morning, etc.)
