Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all
My car was just sprayed by a water sprinkler and is now covered in nasty waterspots on one side. What is the best way to remove them? Glaze? Polish? Car is a black 996 TT. Any help at all would be appreciated
cheers
I have read on some car detailing forums that washing the car in a solution of vinegar and water will break down the waterspots. Not sure the exact ratio.
Thanks for the info. I'll try the 3M Imperial hand Glaze. It won't come out with just car wash soap. Will the 3M work on an older bmw 325 too? My girlfriend has old waterspots that won't come out.
thanks again
The Hand Glaze won't do it by itself.
First you need to strip the wax - try just washing the car using a mild liquid dish soap. That will take the waxes off the car (in the event your spots are below the wax).
Then go at it with the Hand Glaze if you want. Try one panel at a time with good lighting to see if it does the trick. You may need something more aggressive like 3M Swirl Remover. If you don't need it, don't use it.
After Hand Glaze, use P21S Paint Cleaner and P21S Carnauba.
Done, spot free.
I have had good luck with <a href="http://www.meguiars.com/product_showroom/showproducts_template.cfm?SrcLine=CP&SrcCat=3" target="_blank">Meguires Deep Crystal Polish.</a>
? variable
? 3 black cars?
you sound frighteningly consistent! and perhaps masochistic! white or silver are much easier.
anyway good luck--black does look great when clean. <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />
Just asked my detailer about water spots or as he calls them aquaspotso.
Any quality fine cleaner wax will remove them. The suggestion about a very weak vinegar (white apple) in water will also do the job.
He states the very best thing, is to FIRST get that TT waxed up with a quality brand waxer sealer. So, what are you waiting for? Get the rags! ;-)
