    Paint or glass or both?

    Both actually. Washed my black 02 Grand Prix GTP the other night in the shade and tried drying afterwards but left water spots in the paint and glass. I tried using Mg cleaner wax with a buffer on the paint to try to take them out, but that didn't work.

    Is your buffer a dual action or just an inexpensive obital like the ones found at Sears. If the later, it won't remove the water spots. You can try a chemical water spot remover, but before doing that, try a paint cleaner like Pinnacle Paintworks Lotion. If the Pinnacle paint cleaner doesn't do the job try google MX7 for paint. Use Duragloss Nu Glass for your glass.

    Rinsing after every panel or so while keeping the car wet and beaded up helps.

    Thanks guys! That's exactly how I rinse my car, but it's been over 100 here in Oklahoma lately. I'll try dual action polisher with a white foam pad next. I'll go get that glass polish and try that as well. What speed would probably be good for most situations. A 3 or 4?

    a paint cleaner + microfiber applicator should easily do the job unless it's one of those "deep" water spots
