I have very hard water and no matter how hard I try I get really bad water spots on wifes car(black). What is the best way to remove them right now I use a cleaner wax maquirs i think but it does not do a very good job?

Best thing I do to stop them in the first place is to use a chamois to dry it. Never let it sit and air dry.

This sounds really crazy.........but got it from someone else............
I spray my bike and let it sit a few minutes, spray it off.................. Here's the kicker.............use a leave blower...........haven't found any spots......... And now the Vaccuum company's are making units for this idea. Don't laugh until you try it...........saves time..................

waterspots
I have the same problem having a black truck that attracks heat. I also live were the water is real hard. I have tried lots of things. I do dry my truck off right away(like i didnt know what caused them lol). I talked to a glass place and they gave my some stuff called A-MAZ(water stain remover) . this stuff works my truck has water spot built up over the 23 years i have owned it. It rubbs on with a damp cloth then rubb off ( repete if needed). this stuff works nothin before even touched the water spots. jay

Simple solution of Vinegar and water. It will remove the spots.

Try something called "Bar Keepers Friend". You can find it at your local Albertsons, Safeway, etc. in the household supply section.
