What I did wrong?
Couple weeks ago I washed my car with P21S shampoo, than used Absorber to remove water from the paint. After that, I used Grigio's Garage clay bar and detailer as a lube, than wiped-out whole car with micro fiber towels. After that I used P21S polish, than P21S wax. After waxing used Eimann Fabrik Clear Pearl Instant Detail. A saw great shine and perfect gloss.
We had heavy rain at this night. At the morning all cars at the parking lot was almost dry with some minor water stains. My car was covered by water stains from bottom to the top. When I drove my car at 30mph water wasn’t removed by the wind. If fills like stains was glued to the paint. What I did wrong???
P.S. Sorry for my terrible English:-)

Had you washed the car before the rain?

You might have a lot of pollen on your car, it will feel a little like glue if it rain and then dries, wash your car and that should fix what you are seeing/feeling.

If its a dark color your still likely to get water spots under those circumstances. However, having been using Zaino, it does sheet off really well so I usually end up with just a hand full of spots which can easily be removed with Z6.
