Question Water Spots

What can I use to remove water spots? After washing my car today I ran into the house to get something (the car was still wet). While I was in the house the phone rang and I ended up being on the phone longer than I had expected. When I went back outside the car was totally dry with water spots all over it. I don't want to have to re-wash it just to remove the spots. Will Zaino remove them? I have Z1,2,5&6.

Just Z-6 it, Z-6 contains a fresh water spot remover and is always good to use after a wash.

Ok, I tried that. I only used it on the hood and it doesn't seem to be working very well. My car dried in the direct sunlight, so the water spots appear to be "etched" into the paint. Any other suggestions? Do you think a buffer will remove them? Since it's only water, I'm sure that something has got to work. I've never had this happen before. I'm usually always good about drying the car off right away after a washing.

Give white vinegar a try, Put a little on a cotton cloth and rub it on the spot.

If the detail spray does not do the job, try a clay bar or some white vinegar rubbed on with a cloth.

You can give it a try, No you don't have to reapply Z-1 after.
