    The spots more or less go away with a wash when I dry them using a drying aide like V07. However, there's a few that are flat out etched that won't go away. Even driving down the road, water doesn't really shed. I tried using Megs hybrid detailer and that actually acted like a ceramic coating more than the Pure.

    Do like guz said and try carpro descale. And then stop using the v07, see if that changes the water behaviour. Sounds like you have typical water spots that just collect dirt after a rain and it drys on top of the surface...not actually attaching itself to the point that it wont come off. Black vehicle doesnt help the situation

    This statement here makes me think there is something else going on.

    My experience with Pure EVO is completely different. When my car has been rained on and I start driving the water flies off the paint at speeds far lower than any other coating I've experienced. While driving in a steady, hard rain the car at highway speeds the car practically dries itself and doesn't really get wet until I slow down or stop. Then when I start moving again the water flies off.

    Even when using Griots 3 in 1 which I found to have pretty unremarkable beading/sheeting for a ceramic product, I'd see water start to shed from the vehicle when in motion. Granted at much higher speeds than Pure, but it would still shed water once in motion.

    What do you think about Descale? I've used this before and noticed my paint was really grabby. I feel like I personally may have used too much Descale when diluting it in a foam gun. It definitely did help decontaminate my coating though, spots that were beginning to fail were brought back to life, so I'm sure it's cleaning properties are great, and in my instance it was purely user error.

    I would try the descale as suggested and any ceramic detail spray to boost the beading like DP Ceramic Detail Spray or SONAX Ceramic Ultra Slick Detailer

    Works great. Use it at the proper dilution for good results. It makes the coating surface smooth.

    I'm half way tempted to polish off the water spots that are really in it and re-apply on the hood and see if I botched the install on it.

    Descale is brilliant, have been using it a lot the last few months.

    I have not noticed gabbiness, although that could be because I'm generally using it as a strip wash and follow up with a clay process, polishing and/or reapplying an LSP.

    I'm using it at the recommended 1:10 in my foam cannon, the pH reading about 3.72 in this form.
