Default yep- GEPC.

I have some stubborn water spots on my hood, roof and trunk that vinegar and Zaino Z-PC couldnt handle.

Default its good stuff, but not aggressive at all

you may want to pick up something with more bite. GEPC is more of a filler type product which will hide but not correct imperfections.

Default yeah- I might have to get aggressive

used Z-PC w/ a green pad and it wasnt enough to get rid of the water-spots. Then I went over a small area with vinegar and a sponge and still nothing. I guess I could try a more agressive pad, or a more agressive cleanser....any ideas?

Default if you dont mind buying online and waiting a few days

I happen to like the poorboys line. good results and real easy to work with it. you may also want to consider the 4 Star line (carried by our forum sponser) which is also good.

Locally you can find some good stuff by 3M and Mothers Power line.

I've had pretty good luck removing water spots using GEPC on a grey pad

Default I was just able to remove water spots from our black golf using

the 4-star UPP and a white pad on the PC. what ever chemicals that are in the UPP seems to pull the water spots right off. Yours might not come off as easy, but it might be worth a try.
