If you have Zaino over the spots now you have to remove the Zaino to get to the spots. In the same way that Zaino is protecting your paint, the Zaino is also protecting the water spots, so try some rubbing alcohol to remove the Zaino, or do a wash with Dawn liquid detergent... Then try the vinegar wash, or use the clay bar after the zaino is removed. Goodluck!

Do you dry your windows after washing? I used to just let the water dry and use windex later. That left the spots that wouldnt come off. Then 1 time I dryed the windows after washing and they all went away.2002 Black FireBird M5 2-5-02<br />Red BMR strut bar<br />Dynomax Super Turbo muffler with FastToys.com tips.<br />4 Coats of Zaino - Better every time<p>Need to post pictures?

ya dude dry your car all the time....rain is diff, its pure, hose water has stuff chemicals and other crap in it...if anything just dry it off at about 80mph should get most of the spots off...

Rain water - pure?
HAH.
Rain water is not only incredibly dirty but it also has a plethora of pollutants in it. This depends on your location of course, but in general I'd much rather have tap water spraying over my car than rain water!2002 Camaro SS 6 Spd<br />Sebring Silver Metallic<br />Still breaking it in<p>Traded in - 2002 V6 5 Spd Camaro.<p>\"I\'ll never trust squirrels again.\"

I think he ment rain water doesn't have all of the added chemicals. Rain water is dirty and has pollution in it but I would assume not as many chemicals.

Water spots are a huge problem for me too. I cannot figure out what the problem is with my paint. If a couple drips of water get onto the car and I don't know about it to wipe it off, the next day I'll be sure to have water spots in that area. The hood, roof and hatch area of my car have gone terrible. I've tried stripping all the wax off and giving it a vinegar bath already, not to mention different water spot removers...nothing will work. I called a car cleaning shop in my area and they suggested that they do a "liquid sanding", where they use some type of chemicals that makes it like a really high grit sandpaper, and then use more chemicals to bring back the color in the paint afterwards... They wanted $250 to do it, and I didn't that that sounded very reasonable so I never tried doing this..
Good luck.1994 3.4L M5 Bright Red Camaro <p>NGK G-Power<br />Accel 8.8mm<br />Hooker Aero Chamber Exhaust<br />GM 160a Alternator<br />Phoenix Gold Deep Cycle Battery<br />Clarion DRX6575z<br />US Acoustics 2100<br />ESX Quantum 2751<br />Infinity Reference 6.5\" Comp Set w/ Modified Xovers<br />(2) MTX 5000 15\"<br />Wiring by Arc Audio
