I use a California Water Blade to "squeegee" off the standing water before it dries. Anything left gets the chamois.

Tim, just a little wax should take it right out!

OK I will post my recommendation. And this is for after you got the spots out and don't want them coming back. Get one of those Mr. Clean Autodry kits. I use it....and I never get spots...and I don't need to hand dry it either...at least not 95% of the surfaces...

Does the vinegar work on glass as well? Since I had the windows tinted when the light hits it just right I see water spots on the windows, don't notice them on the paint (windveil blue).

Ducky Water Spot Remover. This stuff really works! I have used it on jet-ski's and cars. It is made to remove tough water spots - and it works 100% of the time You can usually get it at any boating / jet ski dealership.

It does work on the glass, but I don't know if I would chance it with the tint.

1. rubbing with white vinegar, if that doesn't work
2. use a clay bar, if that doesn't work
3. use a mild abrasive like 3M 39009, if that doesn't work
Please Call me... at 732-833-8800
Best time to reach me is Monday, Tuesday & Thursday between 8:30 & 11:30 AM est.

White vinegar will get them off if they arent too baked in. I keep some in a spray bottle.
The one thing that will reliably get them up is a clay bar. But this will strip off the wax too.

I second this. We go out to Havasu/Parker for the summer alot, and my dad always makes me wipe off the waverunner (4 seater) every time I get it really wet. At the end of our trip, when we pull it out...I "ducky" it.
after the sun goes behind the hills....spray some on...wipe it off. And yes, it is safe on cars too. works VERY well.

I'll tentatively second this. I've only used it twice, once on the stang and once on the explorer, but it worked great. No residual haze that some had mentioned and no water spots. I'll be u sing it again today so here's to hoping I get the same results!

Yes, I use the Mr. Clean wash too. It works great...but the soap and filters are expensive...especially if you have a black car and wash your car 2-3 times a week.

I always found this to be a good overview with some tips like
: don't use a nozzle
: don't wash from the bottom up
: I always use microfiber to avoid swirls.

There are plenty of different opinions on this so arguments are futile... I just thought there were some good tips for folks if they were interested.
