Water spots, wont come off...
alright lately my car has been parking where our sprinkler system is able to spray it, well the water is pretty hard here and i have water spots that absolutely wont come off. How do i go about doing this?
I mean while i was washing it i could feel the apint was rough and once i dreid it, the water spots were visible. How do i remove this shizzle??????

ooopps i forgot to tlel everyone about my trip to autozone. I went there and asked the guys, "what is the best stuff you got to get rid of hard water spots on paint?" He said "down that isle, its Simple Green for Automotive Use." I picked it up and it was way cheaper then the other meguires stuff said before so i bought it. Came home, read the direction to see if it says dont use on paint, anything like that. It was cool. so i sprayed it on in a small spot to see if it removed the spots. BAMM after one whipe they were gone, liek that, in an instant.
I reccomend using this stuff, seemed to work great and its for use on boat gel coats also so i figured it would be ok on paint.

alright cool, im going to have to take a trip to autzone, simple green correct... im going to have to look for myself, only old people and chicks work in these car places around here . very frustrating when u need to get something or ask a question
simple green is not safe on paint..........should have used a clay bar or some light polish compound. however, glad you got it fixed one way or the other. better be sure to use heavy amounts of wax now that you've opened up the clear coat.......that is if your car had clear coat.

the person that told you to use simple green on your paint needs to be beaten and dragged down the street.
