I was attacked by hard water, how can I get the spots off?!? Help me get these darn water spots off!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, just like the title says, what do I do to get these water spots off my truck? I spent 3 hours the other night and removed 90% of the water spots with a combo of vinegar and distilled water and it looks great from 2 feet away. However with as picky as I am, if I look into the sun on the hood I can see see little traces and halo's left by the water spots that the vinegar/water combo won't clean. I then tried another good wash followed by a claybar treatment (another hour) and then a waxjob. The halo's are still stuck there. If you try to feel the little waterspot halo's with your fingernail you can't. I think they're already etched into the clearcoat. What would I want to use now? A glaze? If so, what kind? Does Zaino make a product for this? I'm lost and I really don't feel like taking my clearcoat down a notch to get rid of the water spots. If I leave it alone as it is, will the water spots eat further down or has the extent of the damage already occured?
Thanks,
Joe
