Z2 and Z5 vs water spots?

I have water spots baked onto my car. I tried scrubbing with dawn, used white vinegar...they're still there. If I polish the car with Z2 and Z5 would it get rid of the spots? Or would it just put a protective layer over them? Thanks for any help!

Try a claybar.

The Zaino won't get rid of them. You might have to use a mild abrasive.

Try some scratch remover. The kind that comes in a tube like toothpaste. NuFinish has some. It won't remove scratches, but it might get rid of the water spots.

A swirl mark remover is what I'd try first, then only go to something more abrasive if necessary.

Your water marks are etched into the paint.

Our new product, ZPC Fusion will remove water spots using an orbital buffer. It is a mild abrasive.
