OK My car was parked outside of a friend's house, then we went to magic mountain. He neglected to tell me that the sprinklers come on in the morning, and my car got PWNED hardcore by the sprinklers.
This was in 100+ degree Pasadena weather, so the water spots baked in the sun all day.
First I b1tchslapped him, then I took the car home to wash and try to get rid of the water marks. This is the worst damage my car has ever seen.
Anyway, I tried washing, claybar, and meguiar's cleaner wax (colorX) and it helped a lot, but you can still see the spots from an angle or under fluorescent light.
I'm buying the whole porter cable / dual action polisher finally!! Along with some #83, and other goodies.
Wish me luck, I hoped nothing like this EVER would happen to my car...
P.S. The spots are over like 40% of the car, it's really bad... luckily the volks didn't come out looking too bad.

That said, I only bought #83 so I might want to borrow some #80 just in case the #83 is too strong?? Since Mike P. used #83 on Josh's Z at the class, I figure it's fine...
I think I'm gonna clay the rest of the car, do a pass with the #83, then see how the spots look... finish it up with zaino Z-2 and I should be good 2 go.
