Can claying remove permanent looking water spots?

[Mighty Thor]

I swear man. I've done everything. I've used compound like crazy. Bought all sorts of stuff and still the water spots on my hood, headlights and rear bumpers are still there.

I always get new water spots every time it rain here in Calif.

I haven't done Clay. But I want to know if you have have something better that I could use.

Black cars are a drag. But once you've gone black it's hard to go back. :D

sandpaper, 1500-2000 grit. Be careful though.

Use a claybar, while you are at it, just buy a zaino kit.

if you put some coats of nice wax on your car the water wont dry into thoes little spots, mine did that for a bit, i just wiped them off with a microfiber towel , then wax. (if you dont have a microfiber towel you can use a cotton one, but be careful not to scratch)

No you will have to work the waterspots out with a cutting pad and some scratch X or something similar with abrasives.

I'd clay bar it first... It may or may not work but you canot really mess up claybarring, but you can mess up sanding.

Besides its not a bad idea to claybar your car like once a year, even better idea if it hasn't been clayed in like 6-7 years.

Friend of mine just did his 97 z28 and it looked wonderful afterwards.

Claybar doesn't help on hard water spots. Believe me, I tried it.

I'm gonna have to try the brillo pad with cleanser though. That sounds like it might work, but wouldn't you scratch the glass?

DO NOT use a brillo pad!!!!!
I once made the mistake of using one of those little green scratchy sponges on my truck to remove sap. I have a tiny 1" x 1"5" patch that's full of scratchmarks.

you can fix that wish a buffer and polish
