Use a car polish, or paint cleaner intended for clear coat finishes.
Note!!! Not wax. A good paint cleaner that I use is, "Zaino PC Dual Action Paint Cleaner - Swirl Remover." Another brand that I used before discovering Zaino is, "Meguiars Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner." This was step 1 of a 3 step system consisting of 1. Paint Cleaner. 2. Polish. 3. Wax. But you can just top the cleaner off with whatever wax you normally use. Zaino PC has to be ordered, but once you use their products you will never go back to anything else. Even their leather conditioner is the best I've ever used, and it leaves the smell of new leather inside the car for a couple of weeks. Detail sprays are for a quick shine on a clean car, they are not intended to remove stains in the paint. Clay bars are for removing foreign particles. Ed |

Ed The Z-9, and Z-10 leather cleaner and protectants smell like leather.:cheers: |

Ed and.. white vinegar, wd 40, or rubbing alcohol will work too.... wont hurt the clear coat.. and again, clay bars dont remove water spots.:thumbs: |

Water spots are dissolved minerals in the water (mostly limestone) depending the water supply. Vinegar(acetic acid) will dissolve the limestone safely.
You might want to dilute it at a ratio of 1:1 Vinegar to distilled(or bottled) water and see if thats stong enough. |
I have used pure white vineger and it works pretty well, just you and your car will stink.
If vineger doesn't work I would use CLR cleaner and wash my car immediately. |

New Black Maxima (Bad A$$ 6Spd lots of fun) 6 months into owning her a post hole digger fell off a truck on the highway and side swiped me. That is when I began to take care of he paint on my cars and it never looked the same I said no more black cars. Fast forward to a month ago I said I am ready to handle the upkeep on the black car again. So I bit the bullet. earlier this week I had some windshield work done and the water tested it. Then let it sit out in the sun for 3 hours in the 80 degree day. Now I'm learning about the upkeep on black cars again. By the way this is for my truck (Still GM Black paint) http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...NBLO7HBz42.jpg But to keep this vette related, My beautiful JSB coupe is sitting in the garage wondering why I'm giving my attention to this big ol truck http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...p/DSC_1631.jpg By the way, Vinegar took care of the spots. Thanks everyone |

No it isn't. The directions on the bottle call for hand application, but I have used it with a Random Orbit buffer.

I used it by hand with no results. It must work better with the buffer then.:lurk:
At my detailing shop, Z-PC and AIO are the only two Zaino products that are applied using a Porter Cable. |
