Water Spots

Help!!!

I have a black CLS and I have tried and tried to wash this damn thing and not have water spots but no matter what I do there they are:swear2:

If I wax after washing does that remove the water spots or does it just cover up the spots

Try to wash out of the sun or in a garage. I wash under the partial shade of a tree and dry my car off fast before the water dries. I also use a California water blade to make the job quicker (although I have concerns that the blade may cause some fine scratches/swirls).

If plain soap and water are not removing your spots, you can use a very weak acid solution to wash away baked on water spots (actually solubilize some of the dehydrated minerals that bake on to make the spot). Mix a capful or two of white vinegar into a jug or squirter of water and clean away. Wash the car after.

For the second part of the question: depending on the wax you use, you are probably just covering up the spots. Zaino is non-abrasive, so it won't effectivly 'clean' the car when you wax. Other waxes are slightly abrasive and they may remove the spot.

I'd try to polish a spot free car and not depend on the product to remove the spots for you.
