Water Spots!

Well, there are water spots on my black bonnet stripes. I just noticed. Maybe a lawn sprinkler got to them at work.

What's the best stuff for removing water spots? You know, those ugly white circles from water with a high mineral content.

I was thinking maybe white vinegar, applied in a small area, and then wiped off with a microfiber cloth.

Any experience here?

BTW, I went out today and bought a car cover!

If it's pretty recent, try some Meguiars quick detail with microfiber towel. Works for me!

If it's bad, you might want to "clay" it. Check the Detailing section.
