Right, having a bit of trouble with watermarks.

I think my car must of been polished with them left on once and wether it was me or not i dont know.lol. :oops:

Wats the best way to get rid of em as i do NOT wanna polish the car again until it is watermark free? I have used synthetic and real chamois and have mixed results. Is there any other ways of getting you paint perfect before you polish or do i need more elbow grease?

Cheers.

clay the car

clay used correctly will remove water marks

but if the are stubbon it will need a very mild abrasive
