a clay bar will get the spots out and if the spots are over some wax then you can use turttle wax ice spray detailer

wash it in the shade, and use waffle weave towels to try it.

+1 on washing in the shade. The clay bar seems to work well for removing spots, also a good auto polish such as Mequires or Mothers...I also use the quick detailer, ultimate detailer and sometime quick wax when I need just a touch up after my car sits in the garage a while. I also find that microfiber towels work real well for washing, drying and removing wax (sold at Advance Auto Parts and I think Auto Zone).

with a new black car, you must dry the car after washing or you will get water spots. there is no easy way. black is the hardest color to take car of, but it looks great when its well taken care of.

Clay bar and Meguires cleaner wax will fix you right up. Put on a few coats and wash in the shade in the future.

Clay bar and wash/dry in the shade. I have the same problem with the alloy (any dark color shows water spots easily) when it air drys faster than I can microfiber it.

It's my damned windows that I can't get clean. Even used solvent on them...

RainX glass cleaner seems to work very good.

Keep the car wet at all times until you are finished washing. Then, take what ever nozzle you are using on the end of your hose off. Use the free flowing stream to rinse off your car. The stream will act like a sheeting action, thus, minamizing the spots. Then, quickly grab your waffle weave microfiber drying towel you bought at Murray's Auto and start slowly dragging it over all your paint work untill its dry. Of course, your going to have to get rid of the spots you already have. Try soft water or some jet dry in the rinse bucket. A clay bar will work magic too. Once you get it all corrected, give it a good sealing and waxing. Then, it will be a breeze to keep clean and spot free.
