Default Weird H2O Marks

Ok I took my Z to a "DIY" car wash last night. Just used the sprayer, no brush or anything. This morning I noticed some water marks that ran from the corner of the rear window down over the hatch, I thought "no problem" and got out my Meguires Quick Detail Spray that I keep in the car to clen them off. To my surprise this did not work. I ran my finger over the marks and I could feel them, like the edges of the stain were raised or something. So, how do I get rid of them?
Thanks,
-J

Meguires Quick Detail Spray is a poor surface cleaner. Try one of the top wax listed here

with good cleaning properties.

a cheap fix would be scratchx. It will take it out less than a minute.

Try a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water. Should take the water marks right off, but will also remove any wax/protection with it in the area applied.
