I have not had a chance to try CarPro, as I have a 55 gallon drum of Gyeon.... kidding of course, but knowing waterspots were an issue with Ceramics, I bought the large bottle, and even in my shop it was rare, so I have only used a few ounces of it.
Since I sold the business, I am thinking that bottle will last me into the next century, , but then at my age my grandchildren will be using it

Knock on wood, I've yet to have a problem with my '07 and getting water spots. I coated mine with Cquartz UK last winter and wipe it down with Reload every other wash. I've had to leave it outside the last few months because my '79 gets the garage and I lost the other place where I stored it. It has been rained on and then sat in the hot sun without issue. Perhaps I'm just lucky being up here in western NY compared to the rain in other parts of the country.

I understand that the ceramic pro is not supposed to be polished. What can I do?
Considering buying ceramic pro. is this common?!!! Thought the whole point was that it doesn't leave water spots like that.
