Waterspots- What to do again?

Did a search here is what I compiled to give it one last shot before putting out $175


1) Try a wash with warm water and add some white vinegar into the water along with dawn soap?


2) Use a polish (can only do it by hand since I have no buffer) to try and get them out.

Since they are pretty bad and most likely etched in I guess I may have to put out the money, but I just really dont want to.

50/50 mix water and vinegar. If that doesn't work, try straight vinegar. DO NOT DO THIS IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR LET IT DRY.

Soak a white cloth in it and let it sit on the water spot for a minute or two. Immediately wash off the spot and check.

NSXNEXT the waterspots are all over the car, what I am saying is can I put some vinegar in the soap and then wash the car with the mix of soap/vinegar?

No soap, just the vinegar and water. You need to do spots at a time.

If the 1:1 Vinegar/Water does not remove the ‘water spot’s’ try:

Paint surface-Meguiar’s ScratchX may take a number of passes to remove ‘spots’ (relatively mild abrasive)

Glass- Autogylm Glass Polish and #0000 Synthetic steel wool (Note use only 0000 grade SSW)

The only two products that I have used on my car finish ( '05-NBP ) is Klasse AIO for protection and
P21S for the topper. This makes a great combo; for any waterspots that periodically show up, I take a very small dab of AIO and apply to a damp microfiber pad and lightly rub the waterspot. The AIO removes it immediately.
