Re: Water spots
Have you tried a mild claybar? If a QD, water spot remover, or other chemical product doesn't work, it might be an option to try before using the polisher.

Re: Water spots
I'm going to do it this weekend. I'll see if the clay alone helps out but more then likely I will be polishing after claying.

But over the course of most of my detailing work-life, I've found that when car paint has water spots, at a MINIMUM it will be a Type II Imprint Ring and it will require mechanical polishing to REMOVE SOME PAINT in order to level the surface and thus visually remove the "spot".
I always explain in all my car detailing classes that the reason you start with wheels and tires before washing the body panels of a car is because the WORST type of defect to have to remove out of car paint is water spots. In fact, just shared that for the 3-day class this last weekend. I'm consistent in what I teach.

BEFORE I ever work on a Mercedes-Benz I first check to see if it has a Ceramiclear paint system. See my article here, the only article like it on the web....
Ceramiclear Paints - Be Careful
Then read this,
Ceramiclear Paint Code Location on Mercedes-Benz
Thanks Mike, I read about Ceramiclear on here when I first started getting into detailing. It's the first things I check for on any Mercedes that I've detailed or anyone that's inquired about having there car detailed.
