Maybe it's from the light rain we had the other day. But, I washed the car a little bit ago. Usually I wash in the morning before the sun is hitting the car directly. Since the weather is cooling down, I waited until late morning. I washed with foam gun and Meg's Gold, with the new Schmitt. After washing I dried with the Air Wand. I had lots of tiny water spots. I was able to knock most out with a Cobra Delux jr. and PB S&G.

Are the water spots from washing in the sun? What's the best way to deal with them?

By the way, the car has 4x WG DGS (in Sept.) and 1x Natty's Blue a couple of weeks ago.

put some vinegar in a towel and rub it then dry it asap. i think it was vinegar that did it for me, cause alcahol works great on the glass.

Vinegar has a pH like 2.0 to 3.0, its very acid like, eat the minerals.
