hey bud
we have a few sponsors that sell detailing products so you can look there.
Obsessive Detail sells great stuff and the owner is a really nice guy to work with!!

the easiest fix in the world is a spray bottle of water... after the car dries, just mist and then wipe right after, and the spots come right off. that's what i've always done and it works for me

the thing bout my car is that some spots the clear coat is like faded and very lil and its rough and alot of dirt sticks there and its not easy to wipe off

you can't really help dirt getting caught under peeling clear coat :dunno:

well its not really peeling i hsould say the thing is when they clay bared it the might of done too much of it which cause the clear coat to thin

the clay bar only gets the dirt off the top of the paint,

it sounds like you're describing clearcoat failure?

does it look like that?

If you car has water stains then first try removing them using quick detailer spray.

If that does not work then your paint is stained... this can only be removed by polishing it out. If your getting these stains then it mean your can has no wax on it. Wax=Protection from The Elements
