  • Help me before the rain!!!!

    I'm new here because I need help. I did a marine wax on my Prelude 1991. Since then, when it's raining, the water is staying on the car until they dries out. The problem is that it leave HUGE water marks (1 inch in diameter sometime) and it seems to be type3 water spots (big white spots deep under the paint). It's exaclty like this: http://www.autogeekonline.net/galler...WaterSpots.jpg But why i'm having this problem? My car has been repainted and i'm pretty sure it's a single stage paint.

    Vinegar is usless to remove these spots, unless it's staying on the spot for a long time. Wet sanding works and rubbing compound too (but A LOT of work and heat needed). They are deep in the paint.

    Jig-A-Loo: I need to shoot each spots (and there is over 500 of them) individually if I want them to disappear. I let the Jig-A-Loo like 5 seconds on the spot and then wipe it off. If I let it on too long, it seems to "melt" the paint and make "moon craters" in the paint.

    What I use: Turtle Wax heavy duty rubbing compound, Meguiar's Ultimate compound and Turtle Wax wax. Even after a coat of wax on the hood, water spots are eating my paint after each rain...


    I hope you guys can help me, I want to keep my first car clean!!

    Sorry for my bad english

    welll... you have a single stage paint , so is a very soft paint.... an bird bomb will most likely stein it if left for a few days.
    the best way is to have the car polished , to remove the water spots and put extra coats of wax, or seal and wax , or permanent coating.
    by hand will be a lot of work , an pc or g110 da should help

      I have a pneumatic polisher, so it's ok!

        because the paint is on soft side you don`t need too much power to correct/maintain the finish.
        i am not familiar with pneumatic polishers, i recomand a da, or portal cable , used at lower speeds, do a test spot and see what works.

          It's working perfectly and because it's air powered, there is no pre determined speed, so I can choose the right speed!
