Default Help!

I have a Black 03 ZO6, and am starting to see some water spots. How do I remove those?

Thanks!

consider a paint polish , and likely a buffer. See if vinegar will remove them, but unlikely if they have seen several days in the sun.

Clay bar should do it.

Are the spots from a sprinkler or acid rain? Sprinklers with hard water and heavy iron are hard to remove

Providing they are not etched into the cc a mild SSR like Zaino Fusion (ZPC) or 3M 39009 should take care of them. If they are etched into the paint you will need to compound or possibly even wet sand to remove them but this is unlikely.
