Default Water spots

Is there any good products you can use to remove the water spots after cleaning ? some kind of spray ? Someting that will not scratch the hell out of the paint.

Black car, clean good, after I dry it, water spots everywhere. Its fustrating to spend all the time and effort and not look good.

my car is black also, I use the Mr. Clean AutoDry Carwash which has a filter that removes water impurities that cause spots, the filter is good for about 5 washes, it works great, no need to even dry, all though I usually go over it with a towel.

I was wondering about that AutoDry system... I've got the same issues with my black GT, looks great wet, but I can't chamois it off fast enough to keep it from being all spotty, and then the run-off from the billet grilles and quarter windows leave their tracks after I've already gone back in the house. I'll have to try it out.

I've got a reverse osmosis (RO/DI) system for my saltwater aquariums that removes all the total dissolved solids (TDS) from the tap water and puts out pure H2O, which I have emptying out into a large Rubbermaid trash can with an auto top-off... It's already gotten to the point where I've contemplated on getting a few buckets of the RO water and pouring it on the car to rinse it off to avoid the hard water spots.

If you want to avoid the water spots, use detail spray after the wash or do what I do and get a california squeegee

At nopi nationals a year back i got some wipe called the glosser. It worked great but it was only a sample. It was like a all in one cleaner/polisher thing and it removed all my water spots after cleaning.

Expensive though considering one barely covers the entire car
