    Omg!!please Help!! Asap!!

    OH CRAP! well my car got rained on yesturday so I really needed to wash it, stupid me I did it in the sun , and now I have water spots in the paint!! I just put it in the garage(my dad let me, suprisingly)

    I`m sooo worried, I don`t even know what to do. Heck I had Polymer Sealant and Carnuba Wax on the car (2 coats of carnuba, 2 coats of Polymer Sealant, followed by 1 coat of carnuba again).

    It`s an Acrylic Enamel paint job as mentioned in the other thread.


    Someone please help me out ASAP, I`m so mad but it was my fault!

    The waterspots should just wash off. If they don`t come off with a basic wash, then try using a little vinegar in the wash for some kick. Vinegar is acidic enough to remove waterspots. It will probably eat up teh carnauba on the surface too, however. Try washing the car and drying it this time and see if that removes the water spots. You could probably just whip out some Quick Detailer and do it that way too. Fresh waterspots aren`t anything to freak out about. Worry about them when your car has been in the sprinklers all day in the hot sun and you don`t notice till a day or two later.

    With a sealant and wax on the car those waterspots should be no problem. Just do what Jngbrdman recommended.

    Yep. A QD may get rid of them without the vinegar.
