Water spots on Mercedes Matte paint

[Timelinex]

I've got a new G63 in Olive Matte Green. There are a few water spots on there that I can't get off with a regular wash of quick detailer, or alcohol mix. They don't feel etched it, but I'm not sure (car has less than 1k miles on it and only a few months old). I've read that vinegar is a no no on matte paints. Any advice?

Tried it and didn't help. I don't think it's made specifically for water spots though.

I don't see them mention it being safe for matte paint

I would email or call OPT to verify use on matte paint

I would give the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner and Protectant a shot.

Do you have pictures of the G63 with matte paint?

I'll see if that stuff helps, iif the Beasley's doesn't. Thanks for the recommendation.

I recently machine polished a matte vinyl graphics without any problems but I'm not going to recommend this to anyone...

Immediately after machine polishing I wiped the surface down twice with glass cleaner.

Then applied Dr. Beasley's matte coating.


I'm going to try to dig up the pictures and share next week...
