Water spot removal?
What can i do to remove water spots? I've buffed with polishing and rubbing compound with little effect. I've heard clay bars or vinegar diluted in water will work. Any experience out there? thx

Try 50/50 water and vinegar first. If that doesnt work, go to clay. That should take care of the water spots no problem

Alot of auto-parts shops like Autozone or O'Reilly's carry Meguiars Quick Clay Bar kit, which is what I use.

A PC Buffer or a Rotory. Practice on some junkyard scraps, then move to your max. It may be a good chunk of money upfront, but in the end, it is worth every penny if you want a truely awsome finish.
