Getting water spots/deposits off
I have what looks like water spots or mineral deposits on the paint and glass of my F150. I have first tried to get it off with a good wash and cleaner wax but that didn't work. Then I tried to get it off with that new liquid clay bar from turtle wax but really no results, minimal at best. Also I have no idea how to get it off my glass. Any suggestions on what to use to get this stuff off? Its a new truck so I would like to avoid a rubbing compound because I know its not part of the clearcoat its just sitting on top of it.
It sounds like you will have to use a polish to correct the water etching. My Light Polish works great on waterspots, it only has light abrassives. You can also use this on your glass. Depending on how bad the waterspots are, you could get them out by hand, if not, a machine polisher will be needed to fix them.

Just wash the vehicle and normal so that it is clean. Then apply the polish one panel at a time. Basically just wipe it on until it almost dissappears and then take it right off. The Light Polish will also bring out more shine and reflection plus prep the paint for your wax or sealant.
If you haven't checked out my waxes and sealants, you might want to look into those. They are very popular among the members here. If you like the carnauba look my Wet Wax is a good choice, If you want more gloss and reflection plus awesome durability the Optimum Opti Seal Sealant is the way to go.
Hope this helps.If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!

When I get started should I be concerned about existing wax or is that a non-factor? Also I just apply it with a microfiber towel or foam wax applicator just like I'm putting wax on with the swirl pattern? Then wipe it off or hose it off?
And I'll think I'll probably pick up the Seal Sealant too if its durable, thats what I would like. Anything special to consider with that or is it just like normal spray wax that you rub in with a microfiber towel?

I like to apply it by hand with either a microfiber or foam applicator in a back and forth motion. You actually rub it in until it almost becomes clear. Then you just wipe off with a microfiber towel.
The Opti Seal Sealant is a lot different than most sealants. It comes with 2 applicators. You just mist it on an applicator and rub it onto the paint, you don't have to buff it off because it just dissappears. 1 ounce will do 5-7 vehicles, a little bit goes a long way with this product. Opti Seal is very popular and is an awesome product!
Alright, thanks for the info. I'll be ordering it this week or next. I was hoping to do it sooner but I just go hit with lots of overtime at work due to being shorthanded. If I have more questions I'll post them here.
Question already. The opti-seal, is it a UV protectant? Also it says plastic trim and other stuff, does that mean it works like the interior armor-all?
