Water Marks

Had the Vette sitting out over night at the girl friends place. The
next morning I noticed water spots all over the car. Seems the
sprinkler system went crazy and sprayed across the driveway hitting
the back, side and front of the car. Couple of days later I washed the
car but was unable to get the water marks off, I waxed the car, still
couldn't get the water marks off.

Anybody have suggestions as to how to get the water marks off? I used
Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Hi Tech Yellow Wax, but can still see the
outlines of where the water sat on the car…

Thanks in advance for all replies to this..

White Vinegar, diluted with water or preferably straight, on a very
soft cotton towel should help. Although you might have to remove the
wax first by washing the car in something like Dawn, as all the wax
will do is cover up the spots.

You could also try Meguiar's Clear Coat Body Scrub as it has gentle
abrasives that could help remove the water spots.

Remember to wash and wax the car after you get the spots off.

What I would recommend is the first step in the McGuire's three step
"Crystal Clear" wax system. It's called paint cleaner. Comes in a red
bottle (as always.) It is formulated to remove any substances on the paint,
including water marks. While you're at it, why not buy the rest of the set
and finish the car the right way? It's the only wax I'll use. Takes some
time, but the result is amazing.

I had a similar problem,
I got one of the Mr Clean systems and there were no more water marks.
