Default Help Please

Hey got some questions for the detail gurus. Whoever that may be. I have a Black2006 Mustang GT, and i have water spots from sprinkler and rain that won't come off with a wash and wax of my car. When i was in Iraq my wife took it to get detailed and they got it out but i dont know how they did it. Now that I'm back i want to detail my car myself. If anyone knows a product that i can get at checkers or somewhere that would work please tell me. I put some pics to show what i mean its on the lights and hood and grill thanks.

The first thing I would try is a 50/50 mix of distilled vinegar and water. Just put it in a spray bottle and spray on. This will help break up the minerals that cause the waterspots. If this doesn't work I would try a polish. If the etching is really bad you might even have to bump up to a polish with abrassives.

Try the vinegar and water method first and let me know how that goes.
