So my Mach looks like it has leprosy. I'm sure they are on there good since the Mach has to sit outside in whatever whether comes it's way .

So is there way to remove water spots without a porter cable? I'm a complete rookie when it comes to detailing so any/all info would be greatly appreciated! I need to get her looking clean before this show/cruise I'm going on! I have a clay bar kit from Mothers that I'll get to using within the next couple of days. But is there a way to remove water spots by hand? I can't afford a porter cable at the moment!

 

you can try vinegar/distilled water @ 1:1. wipe a test panel with that after a wash and see if that takes them off. if they're etched into the clear coat you might be able to polish them out by hand with a finishing polish.

3m ultra fina can be found at a local body shop supply store. you might also want to look into obsessive detail's light polish. works pretty good by hand

 

What do you mean 1:1? So like 1 cup of water and 1 cup of vinegar (on a small scale)?
That doesn't hurt the paint at all does it?

 

Try a solution with more water than that first, if it doesn't work that great then put more in..Better than ruining something by trying too strong of a concentration first.

 

yeah, you can try a lighter dilution if you'd like, but you said it's been sitting so there's a good chance the spots are etched in the clear and it will need to be polished.
