i was washing my car today and there have been these water spots i cant get rid of and today i got some more tryed water nothing happen so what band should i use to remove water spots and get a car show look

 

i'd bet there might be something better to try first, but you could use a rubbing compound/swirl remover

 

.........

 

clay bar the car that will take the water spots off also puffin it out will work

 

Agreed. Only way to go.

Go to Auto Zone and pick up Mothers Clay System, works great.

I use the ICE liquid clay along with a clay bar. Removes everything, Old wax - you name it. You will want to wax (not polish) the car afterwards. I use a 6" orbital buffer to apply and remove the wax.

The car will shine like a new penny.

 

A clay bar will remove swirls and light surface scratches??

 

its a long process but the clay bar for the water spots and then wax it for the swirls.

 

No. A clay bar removes contaminants that are above the paint surface, not anything below the surface.

A clay bar does not strip wax, but you might remove wax where the clay bar has removed contaminants. That is why it is a good idea to wax after you use the clay bar.

If you are going to use a mildly abrasive polish to try to remove swirl marks and light surface scratches, use the clay bar first. This gets rid of the contaminants above the surface. You don't want to grind these into the surface when you polish.

 

It depends on the water spots. If it's just mineral deposits sitting on top of the paint, then a clay bar might work. They're cheap and you'll definitely use it again, so you might as well try that first. If the water spots have etched your paint, and that's possible, then you'll need to buff them out.

A swirl remover, like Meguiars Scratch X works great. (Although, I find that Meguiars Paint Cleaner works better for me.) The commercial products are all pretty mild and won't hurt your paint. Apply it with an orbital buffer, the paint safe type, for the best results. I got mine from Sears for about $50. It works fine for the price. Porter cable makes an excellent one...it's expensive though!

Both of these are the paint safe way to do it and are really idiot proof. An orbital buffer is consumer safe, still it's not as aggressive as what the pros use. However, it's far and away better than any result you'll get by hand and you won't damage your paint.

A more aggressive buffer and compound can get rid of your spots by removing some of the paint. There are plenty of guys that do it, but, I've always been afraid to try, out of fear of damaging the finish further.

 

no it will not. clay bar is good for stuff stuck on the clear coat surface, tree sap, overspray, stuff like that. it will not fix swirls, stained in water spots, or any other damage to the clearcoat itself, it's just good for taking stuff off of the clear coat.

I have water spots on my car too from when it sat at the dealer for a few months before I bought it. I only really have water spots on the spoiler, the rest has some swirls some re re's scratching it when they washed it.

to get out water spots and swirls you need a good polishing compound and the easiest way to apply polish is with an orbital polisher. check out www.autogeek.net for good products and videos of how to apply them. that's where I get everything from.
