Default Posted in Detailing Section but no help

I posted this in the detailing section, but I always get better responses/help in here.


I have some water spots on my spoiler that wont go away no matter what I do. I have tried claying it, meguiars swirl remover,meguiars polish, and scrubbing them but nothing seems to work. Does anybody know what I can do to get rid of them because I am about to zaino my car and from what I understand the zaino will "lock" them in.

If the paint is etched because of the water spots, try using a buffer. If they are really bad, you might have to wet sand, then buff. Also, try clay bar.

You might try buffing it out with a fine rubbing compound. Go to your auto parts store and get a buffing wheel for your drill and a bottle of fine rubbing compound.

If you do this, make sure you have a variable speed drill so you dont spin the buffer too fast. Pour a little of the compound on the area and start the buffer at a slow speed, speeding the drill up a little at a time until the compound is gone. Dont press down too hard or you could burn the paint. If the imperfections are just on the surface that will get them out. If that doesnt work, the only other thing i can think of would be wet sanding it then rebuffing it, but i wouldnt recommend doing that unless you know how or know someone that can help.
