Default Water spots

Is there any way to get off those water spots that you can only see at an angle? ...not very visible unless the sun hits them just right or you look right along the surface of the car. They don't come off with washing and they are most visible on the windows. Any one else have this problem?

try a 50/50 vinigar and water mix, if that don't work you may want to have the car buffed.

professionally waxed, they use a buffer and put on several coats of wax. I would never use a buffer myself, cuz if you dont know what your doing it could blister the paint. But after you have your car professionally detailed, it looks amazing.

I think that dude is talking about water spots on windows??? Use regular window washer and wipe with news papers in the shade. Use lot's of news paper, will last for months.

I've tried that but it doesn't work. The spots are on there pretty good. They aren't white or anything (clear). They almost look like an outline of a waterspot or something. They're actually hard to see from a few feet back - but they still **** me off. I think I'll try the vinegar/water mix. Thanks

You live in the West, so I was wondering if the water hitting your car is from rain or sprinklers. If it's treated water from the sprinklers, you may want to try the water and vinegar like somebody said. Hard water spots are definitely hard to remove.
