How to remove waterspots from hood? I was out of town for a week and my relatives had parked my car next to the damn sprinklers outside so I have em pretty bad. how do you remove waterspots if they have been on there for a week?
I tried washing and waxing, maybe do it a few times?
Thanks

Re: How to remove waterspots from hood? Mix a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. The vinegar will break down the lime deposits which is what the spots are made of. That won't remove your wax either - Dawn will.

Re: How to remove waterspots from hood? Dawn will remove Zaino, if the Zaino rep doesn't know that I wonder how he can sell anything. We all know car soap will slowly strip Zaino. Dawn is nothing but a very strong soap, common sense would tell me that the Zaino would just be stripped even faster.
For water spots I use a mild polish. As long as my car is dried right after it's washed I never have a problem with spotting. I don't like the smell of vinegar.

Re: How to remove waterspots from hood? I had that problem on my black top. Maguire's makes a three stage wax system I'm sure we are all familiar with, the first stage is a paint cleaner... THIS STUFF IS AWSOME! It even took of a tread mark on my hood that I tried everything else on with no problem. I highly recomend it.

Re: How to remove waterspots from hood? how do you remove the water spots from you windows? I tried distilled vinegar last night and the spots laughed at it, any other ideas of how to remove spots from the windows?
Re: How to remove waterspots from hood? I got the inexpensive Rain-X glass polish, I saw it in K-Mart and picked it up. Works really well but it directs you to wet the windows before applying the product where the other polishes can be used on a dry window which is cleaner.
