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?

6 inch, speed of 5, 5 passes, arm speed slow, pressure 25% of 100

I've never seen water spots that tough. Are you sure it wasn't driven through or sprayed with something that resulted in damage like that?

Our area has hard water and then its average temps of over 95 degrees daily so when your car gets washed it bakes on fast. These is not even the worst I've seen around, I've seen some alot worst

Try a different water spot remover (MX7) and if that doesn't work, use a rotary and a wool pad.
