Dynamic Type S

The area where i live gets really foggy at night. So when i wash my car on nice days, i usualy get waterspots within the next day or two depending on the weather because i can only park outside.

I was just wondering if Zaino would protect or prevent these waterspots? In addition, are there any other methods or products i can use to prevent this?

Here is what Sal says about water spots:

Nothing in the industry will prevent water spots or acid rain etching...

Polish/Wax can not guard off water and what is in the water, water spots are remnants of the minerals that was in the water that avaporated on the surface. It depends on the water and by in part what state you live in and what chemicals are in the rain water.

You can not let water evaporate on the surface, no matter what kind or brand of
wax or polish you are using. Never wash a car, especially dark colors in
direct sunlight. Try to wash your car in the morning or late afternoon or
evening...
Never wash or use cold water on a hot paint surface.

You must dry the car very well after washing. Another great tip is to
use a Toro 215mph
Electric leaf blower. Dries your car in about 5 minutes.... without even
touching the paint surface....

If you car gets caught in the rain and the rain drop evaporate on the
surface, immediate action must follow by by either washing the car or use the Z-6
to remove fresh water spots, that is one of the uses of Z-6.

Most 'fresh' mineral deposits (water spotting, acid rain, etc.) can be
removed with Z-7 Show Car Wash or Z-6 Gloss Enhancer spray. If they have
been on the car for a while or Z-6 and Z-7 will not remove them. Use
household white vinegar full strength. This is acetic acid and will
loosen and remove the mineral deposits and not harm the paint surface. Most of
the time,
the water spot etching you see is simply the hardened mineral deposit,
giving the illusion of etching into the paint. Believe me, when these
mineral deposits harden. They become really tough and hard to remove.
The trick is to not give them a chance to harden.

Hope this helps...

damn....good answer...
i was just about to post a topic about water spots as well

as for washing cars...i think i've done everything that you said not to do

washing on a bright sunny day very very hot using cold water on a blk scorching surface

and then i zaino'd the shiet out of it
looks really really good
but i can't stand the water marks eventhough i'm the only one that can notice em

gonna strip the zaino off and rewash soon
when i find a garage to work in

sniff~~

When you wash with the vinegar, will that strip the wax on the car as well - thus requiring a re-wax of the car??

Once you have used Z-1 for the very first time you never, ever have to strip Zaino just to use more Zaino, if you do not understand my meaning just tell me so or email me directly, just trying to save you a BUNCH of time and work.

Probably depending on what wax you are using, but washing the car in vinegar is reall not what I meant, just spray the effected area with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water and wipe with a cotton cloth.
