What would be the best, yet safest way to remove the water spots? I had my hood and trunk recleared...i dont know if that means anything. I just don't want to damage anything.

So you mean you wash and dry the car and the water spots are still there?

Have you tried waxing it?

If that doesnt work you may want to try to get the spots buffed out.

I wash and wax it regularly, its just sometimes my car is parked outside and it rains and then it dries. I'm usually working and I don't get back to my car for hours. By then, the water spots have already formed. Well, I guess ill check out some detailing places and see what they say.

put some white distilled vinegar and some water into a spray bottle and spray that onto the problem areas. then wipe away.

i'd use distilled water too.

Go and get whats called a clay bar. That will also help remove the hard water spots. We used them when I was a manager at a car wash.

OK, so when you wash and dry your car the spots are no longer there......... just like with any dark colored car.

Im assuming you have a light colored car with a carbon hood. Therefore, when it rains, the entire car has water spots, but they are only noticable on the dark colored hood.

The easiest remedy would be to get some detailing spray and slightly mist it onto the hood, and wipe it off with a microfiber.

X2 I've used that stuff before. Works nicely inbetween waxes.
