RE: Water Spots
I had really bad water spots on my alloy gt and I used meguires scratch-x to get them out. I know its really abrasive, but i left the spots untreated for a long time and nothing else I tried would get the spots off. It works on windows too.

RE: Water Spots
I quit washing my car at home...I just use the carwash now. $3 allows me to scrub the whole car with the brush...then move to the high pressure for the wheels and bugs...rinse it off and then go with that "spot free rinse".
A two mile trip home and the car is bone dry with not a spot to be found.
For $3 it is not worth dragging out all the paraphernalia. I can do the fine detailing back home in the garage.

You scrub your car with a carwash brush??? Do you realize that brush could have been used on some guys 4x4 pick-up truck that was caked on with MUD?

By the way using very fine steel wool and glass cleaner will get the water spotsoff of glass (glass only...not paint) and it will not scratch either. It does require a lot of rubbing but it works better than any other thing I have tried.

+1...Don't use the carwash brush. You will scratch tha clear even if there is nothing leftover in the brush from previous use.

RE: Water Spots
Pick up some Optimum No Rinse from Juztang in the detailing section. You wash and dry the car in the time it takes to hand wash alone, the ONR has a bit of wax mixed in, it looks AMAZING, and you only have to use a gallon of water to wash the whole car.
I promise it is good stuff, look into it.
