So I have water spots that somehow got under the clear coat of my rear spoiler. I tried rubbing/cleaning it with a towel and waxing, but they're still there. What should I do? Try the claybar? Or should I just not bother and get it repainted? My warranty has expired so there's no point in using the dealer anymore.
Try the claybar! I had some pretty bad waterspots on my 05 that came off with dawn dishwashing detergent, then claybar, then Zaino.
A claybar won't take off etched in waterspots. They are made for removing surface contaminants, nothing else. You either have to get it cleaned professionally, which means having a detailer use a buffer and abrasives to remove the spot. Either that, or pick up a Porter Cable 7336, some pads, good swirl remover, and do it yourself. The latter is more satisfying btw
i have that same problem on my rear spoiler nothing will take it out ive tried it all. It sucks you cant really see it but then when u get close its all over the spoiler and it looks bad like a bunch of tiny rock marks.
If you wash, claybar, buff with 3M Perfect It II fine compound and then wax it, they will be gone for sure. If you know someone with a high speed buffer (as opposed to an 'orbital' like the PC) then that would be the best route .. but you can buff it out by hand.
seconded. use a good polish (optimum or poorboys) worked in with a PC, followed by a sealer and then some natty's blue. there are a few sites which have tutorials on the use of a PorterCable and various pads and products.
