clay bar is too much work for water spots, use mothers showtime its like an instant detailer and it removes finger prints water spots everything.

Well shit I got some quick detailer in the trunk haha. They didn't come off with the chamois so that's why I was wondering. Need to wax it anyways.

I use just like a bath towel or terry cloth when I use it. Works great, although you need to apply a little pressure but just not kill it.

See I figured these would have come off when I was drying it with the chamois.
Microfiber is the way to go for paint care I'm telling you.2008 Pontiac G8 GT - Roto-fab Intake, Superchips Cortex tune, Solo Axle-back Exhaust

Unless you make sure your microfiber towels are ABSOLUTELY pristinely clean before it touches your paint, you're doing worse than any bath towel could. Remember, microfiber is designed to trap and hold dust/dirt.

Claybar the car. Use a cleaner wax (mothers make a pretty good one) then find another coat to put over it. I've been doing my Prix this way: Clay Bar, Mothers Cleaner Wax, Meg's Gold Class. Car looks GREAT and no spots (as of yet)
My Cutlass had those "water spots" that never came out...EVER. Could never really get them to go away...but that paint was pretty much shot when I got the car...
Next question...does your place have hard water?1996 Olds Cutlass Supreme SL - 119k
