I recently made a post(which is under review since I am a newbie) about what looks like water spots etched into or pitted in my paint. It is on a black car too. I did correction with the 4in LC CCS pads and Merenze IP which removed almost all the swirls but the marks are still all over my car. I posted pictures in the machine detailing of my specific car to see if anyone had any insight, but from the extensive searching I did on the issue it looks like wet-sanding is probably the only hope(other than a repaint). I really don't want to have to go down the route.



Has anyone tried using Megs #47 Hard Water Spot Remover on clear coat?

The description on autogeeks website seems contradicting of it's powers. But this interested me.."Apply #47 Hard Water Spot Remover using a polishing pad on your Porter Cable 7424 for the most efficient results. Work in small sections at a low speed. When the product starts to dry, stop polishing and buff away the residue with a soft microfiber towel.



They make it sound like it can be used as a polish specifically for that application.



Meguiars #47 Hard Water Spot Remover is a boat polish for fiberglass boats that cleans the gel coat and prevents further oxidation.
 
That is what the description at the beginning made is sound like. But if you keep reading I copied a paragraph where they talk about buffing it on with a PC....interesting stuff. More interesting is if it will take the spots off of my car =).
 
I do not know what the formulation of the Megs product is, but I used a product for water spots from Detail King that worked pretty good. It is an acidic preparation, but it claims to be safe for both paint and glass. I do not ever remember seeing a product such as this one (but I could be wrong).

#47 is for gelcoat, not paint. For paint use clay or white vinegar to remove water spots. If they are actually etched into the finish you will need a good abrasive polish.
