Water Spots on Paint
I have water spot on my truck.I guess the dealer I bought it from washed it in the sun and baked it into the clearcoat.I was just wondering if there is a easy way to get them off?I have got most of the of the hood,but they are still all over the body and the rims.It took me 4 hours with a hand glaze just on the hood.It not that noticable,but I know it is there and it bugs me.

Re: Water Spots on Paint
you might try a clay bar. otherwise, break out with wetsanding, if it is real bad a buffer will just burn it trying to remove it. <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

Try some 3m swirl remover, or meguiars swirl remover... check out the appereance section aswell for some tips.... Wet sanding would be my last resort. To make it easier with the swirl remover get a orbital buffer and some foam pads...
for some more detailed info check out ls1.com's detailing section - lots of good help there aswell as autopia.com - the largest detailing site around, with a free 8 chapter book (ebook) and for 15 bucks you get like 28 chapters... probably over 250 pages printed... If you need specific links etc, i have some bookmarked, and some saved, I'm in the car detailing biz, but never really mess with swirl removal or spot stuff. Send me a pm and ill see if i can find you some specific links.

Use a claybar. It always has worked for me. If that does not work, I know you can use vinegar to get the spots out of the windsheild. Not too sure how it could effect the paint. Be sure to wax it afterwards. I wouldn't recommend wet sanding. I think claybar is your best bet. Just my .02 cents.
P.S.- Try Zaino, it is the best!
