I just used pp with an orange edge pad and exp with a white edge pad on my black pontiac grand am and it looked awesome. Well i was at my appartment and they decided to water the sod while i was at class. They ran the water sprinkler on the car for the better part of 5 hours nonstop. To make a long story short it was dusty before the water and i had some terrible water spots that didn't come out with washing. Should i clay then us the pp and the exp like before or is there something else that will remove it. I tried a really bad spot with pp and exp and there was still a water spot in it if you looked closely. Thanks
 
Get on the clay asap so that the water doesn't harden any more than it has...it should come off and what doesn't will come of with the PP...follow the same routine with the PP and the EXP....oh and find a different place to park:D
 
sprinklers can be your worst enemy, the rust and minerals that sit in underground pipes ruined the paint on a Camaro of mine. You might also try washing thoroughly with some Bug Squash, I've taken off some nasty water spots with it.
 
Thanks guys....i will get on the clay this weekend and see if it works. I tell you what if that d!@# sprinkler is on it again it's going to get expensive replacing them everytime they get "misplaced"!!

good luck and find a new parking spot or get a waterproof car cover ;)
 
Yeah water spots are a pain especially in the central valley where the water is more harsh. My trim even took a beating from the water. It stained the door handle trims an off color black. :(

Excellent advise!

One could also try a vinegar wash, or if the spots are really bad, one might have to go to one of the "heavy duty" products, like FK's Paint Decontamination products or a couple others that are available.
