I recently washed my car and we have very hard water around here. Well there were spots that i didnt get dried off very good and it left horrible spots! After trying several high dollar stuff from several auto stores i though i was going to have to get it buffed.

BUT... my friend at carquest suggested plain "white Vinegar"

I couldn't believe how good it worked! Just a tip i thought i would pass along!

I did that to my last car. It got spotted up real back after a sprinkler hit it and the car was black.

I did not know **** about a clay bar back then, so I used vinegar - Worked real well.

Use newspaper to take the vinegar off the glass...the ink helps remove spots and dirt.

Yeah, I've been using a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and distilled water for years on water spots and windows. Works great, but just make sure you wax afterward.

clay bar but make sure to use plenty of soapy water or you risk scratching the paint.

Horrible idea. Newspaper is way too abrasive to be used on paint. Vinegar works fine, but is quite strong. A good solution is half warm water and half vinegar. The heat in the water helps to activate the vinegar a little while keeping it still pretty mild but getting the job done.

I was talking about the windows and glass...not on the actual paint. (post edited)

Oh okay, then great idea! Newspaper = no lint. Sorry for the mix-up!

Yeah the Vinegar works wonders but you have to protect the paint after.
