I've also heard incredible things about Optimum No Rinse. Obsessive Detail is a sponsor here and I've dealt with Justin (Juzstang) before when purchasing a porter cable and a bunch of other stuff. You put it on the car and dry it off without needing to rinse. I saw a video of it being used on a Ferrari and it works great; especially on darker cars. PM justin or go to www.obsessivedetail.com if you want to check it out. I'll be ordering some in a month or two when I run out of soap

My guess is you have extremely hard water and are also washing the car when it is sunny. First thing is wash either first thing in the morning and I mean early no later than 10Am or late in the evening just as the sun begins to set. Next step that really helps is to get a filter setup that removes the minerals in the water. I use this one.

The you need to get yourself some Waffle Weave MF towels I prefer the larger ones. I also use a detail spray and the water blade followed by more details spray and the waffle weaves for final drying.

Did you clay bar and THEN wax, or wax then clay bar?

make sure you car is cooled off, (let it sit in the shade for a couple of hours), dont wash it in the sun, keep the car WET until your done (dont wet it once and wash the whole car and then rinse later, that can lead to water spots from them drying on the paint), a blower works great, but if you dont have one, try to dry it as quickly as possible, then go over it with some spray wax or "quick detailer".

here is the result-



i took this about 2 hours after a wash and spray waxing. not to shabby for stock, never buffed/polished/treated paint i'd say.

clay bar then wax

i use a water blade,then 2 different microfiber towels.i do most the drying in my garage, once im all done i use honda motorcycle polish to give it that shine.i know what you are saying about water spots, and what i have found is that in the areas that the water spots pop up i use one of the microfiber towels that is damp and go back over just that area,spots just wipe away lie magic.

I don't even think about not washing in anything but the shade.

If you have a spider web effect than you're going to need to polish it. I'd recommend picking up a DA/G100/PC as well as some other "high end" detailing supplies if you want to get it looking good. $300 and you'll have a decent set-up, I can promise you that it'll be the best investment you've ever made for your cars.

Also i wouldn't call them as much as water spots as i would streaks more than water spots.
