Water/soap spots won't come off
Water/soap spots won't come off
I just washed my car tonight, and in the middle of it i had to pause to talk to someone. Well, i think some of the soap dried on the paint surface and now i can't get the spots off the surface. i tried rewashing it, using a clay bar, using a Meguires spot detailer, and waxing over the spots. Nothing seemed to do any good at all. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if the clearcoat got etched and the only to remove them is by polishing the paint or something. I'd appreciate any suggestions any of you may have.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Try applying distilled vinegar, yes, distilled vinegar onto the sections with spots on it using a sponge. Rub it in, let the vinegar sit for 30 to 60 seconds, and then rinse off with water. The vinegar will remove your wax, though, so don't forget to wax the areas that you treated with distilled vinegar. This technique also works with water spots.

Good luck.
PS. You car will smell like a salad until you rewax it!

Zaino will fix that. It also helps if you don't wash the car in direct sunlight. Especially not drying in direct sunlight. My friend who details cars has a tent he puts up to keep light directly off of the car.
After using Zaino claybar, polishes, you can use the zaino soap/z6 after spray to remove any water marks/swirls. Plus it provides an additional protective coating between each wash. I use zaino on my crossfire and bike. Super wet finish, no water spots, etc.
If it still doesn't come out, you'll probably need a buff or compound job on the clearcoat. Any good detail shop/person can do this. Don't take it just anywhere though.
