Sounds like a great ride,Why did'nt we get a call to go with ya? That's ok maybe next time.For those water spots,I'm guessing you did use the clay bar,then the spots are in the clearcoat,they will have to be buffed out,time to buy a polisher Then clay it again and apply wax,then detailing wax then polish again and watch Goldie shine. Maybe we should come down and have polishing party

Yeah, I had a situation where Connie and I stayed overnight at a motel on one of our trips, and when we got up, the C6 had gotten watered by the motel sprinklers. Had some SERIOUS water spotting, because the water had evaporated before we got out there.
I used the orbital buffer with some polishing compound (Meguiar's, I believe) and the spots came right off. Clay bar didn't phase them, as I did try that first.
If you get caught in the rain and it stops before you get home, drive as fast as you can to blow off most of the water before it evaporates. Large water beads on a sitting car are MUCH worse than the ones you will get while driving.

Try Grape Gloss Spray Wax. That will take them off and wax the surface at the same time.

I tired both water and vinegar and the first thing I tried was my favorite Grape Gloss. Neither removed the problem. They're very faint but next is following Robs suggestion about the ole buffer.

Yeah, the Grape gloss was the first thing I tried as well. It took out some, but not all. The buffer with polisher compound was needed.....

Hey Guys,
Grape Gloss will remove water spots, but if the sun hits them, they will bake them into the clearcoat. Or if the water spots are from high calcium well water, you will need to use a cleaner wax, like Flash or Rejuvenator. We also have a liquid water spot remover that you can just wipe on the car and it will remove the water spots without having to buff it out. It saves alot of time. I am having a water proof label made up for it. Its such a great product that I may have it put up on the website now.
Thanks for your support gentlemen.

Ken I got just the solution for ya- If you drive really really fast (over 110 mph) the water droplets won't hardly touch your car. It has to do with high speeds that will cause a vortex and a minor magnetic storm. The electron differential between the paint or clear coat and the water droplets creates a repelling force and you'll arrive home dry!!
I have had excellent luck with the Detail Spray from Adams and Flashman's new product may also work. If that doesn't work, then drive really really fast.... Mark
