    Water spot advice

    Here's what I have booked for this weekend.

    I have a 6 and 3 inch griots DA polishers
    m105 compound
    m4 compound
    CM yellow pads
    DA MF cutting pads

    What would he best to get all these years of etching water spots off?

    I'd start with seeing if a vinegar solution would remove some of it before you start polishing.

    Try vinegar mixed with water 50/50

    1. Wash the Car

    2. Mist it on

    3. Massage with a soft sponge

    4. Rinse off

    Hard to tell from pic,car looks dirty if not and those are spots like that I don't think vinegar will help,if it deos your in good shape better than trying to polish all of that off good luck and report back if need more advice.

    No, that's not dirt its all water spots, water and vinegar did nothing I even used a water spot remover spray and still nothing, I've tried the m105 and yellow foam pad and it really didn't do much. I'm trying to avoid wetsand if at all possible.

    Surprised the M105/Yellow Pad didn't make a dent

    What polisher, machine speed, downward pressure, number of passes, arm speed were you using?
