    that liquid clay bar isnt going to get rid of the water marks.a real clay bar might if u can actualy feel it in the paint the bar will probly help.i detail cars.usually a high speed buffer will work,depending on how bad it is usually tells u what kinda wax to use,most of the cars we get at work are really bad so we use synthetic,but 3m makes a swirlmark remover which that usualy works to,sometimes u dont need a buffer with that.that wax will also take some waterspots off windows with a super fine steel wool.

    I would go with 3M Finesse it.

    I've never tried it on a car, just my jet skis, but I use Vinegar to remove waterspots on them. Use the 3M first though as it pretty darn good for cleaning up minor paint defects.

    Dilute the vinegar a bit before you apply it to paint. It should work on the water spots unless they have been on there too long. If it still doesn't come out then you will need to polish the paint. 3m is a good brand to start with for local auto store stuff.

    A car I was working on today had horrible water spots, and the vinegar didn't help at all. I guess it is only good for light water etching and not for water spots that have been there for 3 months.
