Haha yeah I hear you. Not cheap, but certainly good stuff. I haven't gotten to use the glass polish stuff yet actually. Hoping one of my friends will need it soon.

You will not be able to achieve this by hand you need a DA like a PC7424, Gritos or Flex. You will have to use a compound like M105 or whatever compound you like and go from there. Then hit it with a polish and then hit it with a sealant to help prevent this from happening again. Good luck.

Not to disagree but how does he know it's etched? Clay bar would be the 1st and most non-invasive method. I really can't see recommending someone start off with 105.
BTW, if you do need to go the 105 route, 3m Perfect-It is much better cut and pricewise

did you read what i wrote..I said IF its water etching clay will not do anything.

I'm assuming it's etched because when I was waxing it the water spots weren't going anywhere. So I guess I'll take your advise and try the clay bar first and see what kind of results I get and take it from there. I dont plan on doing it anytime soon, its just to damn hot.

Thanks for all the replys.

Also I don't know if this helps but you can only see the spots close up
when looking at an angle.

hard to say..Just get yourself a clay kit they are cheap like 16bucks either Mothers or Megs and clay a small section to see if they start to come off..if they dont they might either be etched in or you may need a more aggressive clay. But if they remove some and not totally i would say more aggressive clay will do it. but if it doesnt remove anything then you will need to buff the paint.

Meguiars 105 - Cutting agent, it is an abrasive, will definitely remove the water spots.
Word of advice when using it: Remove it as soon as it has been applied.

megs ultimate compound would probably be better for a first timer. it has a longer working time, doesnt dust as much and has close to the cut of 105 so it will get the job done.
