Default Stupid Me

Thanks for all your help guys with what I thought was fish eyes in the paint. I couldn't believe after waxing the car twice and still spots. Then I got looking at rear hatch and notice the same marks. Got a spray can with water and vinegar and tried spraying a small spot first and presto all the stains were gone. I guess it was just water stains that my wax would not get rid of. Time for some different wax

A pure wax isn't much of a cleaner. Typically the car should be clean before applying wax.

If you want a very good cleaner wax that you can get locally check out the Zymol Cleaner Wax that you can pick up at any walmart/autozone/etc....

Actually I'd suggest clay bar first to get rid of everything and start fresh.
