I have water marks on my car and am wondering how to get them off..do I simply have to wash the car and dry it faster and more thourough next time or is it too late and now need to get it professionally buffed??!

Vinager is supposed to be pretty good at removing hard water spots. It'll smell aweful. I think buffing it would be you very last resort.

Re: how to remove water marks?

To avoid water spots, do not wash your car in direct sunlight or when it's hot to the touch and use a chamois, absorber, or a 100% cotton towel to dry. If the water spot does not come out after washing, it is most likely trapped underneath the wax and you will need to use a clay bar and detailing spray to remove the wax. Your spot should be gone after using the clay bar. Re-apply the wax to bring out the shine.
