My A'hole Neighbor
My Damn neighbor decided to water his lawn and my car yesterday now I have huge water spots all over but what really pisses me off is that I have washed my car twice trying to remove them...still there . So if anybody has a trick that they use or any ideas I am open to all.

Make sure the area you are working on is very clean.
Clay bar will work though.

try clay bar first too, if not then vinegar. but keep in mind, that will take out any old wax too, so make sure you wax right after.
and btw, start putting the car inside the garage

i feel your pain! when i had my integra, i used to have to park on the side of our driveway and every friggin morning the neighbor's sprinkler system would water my car! it drove me nuts and there was nothing i could do about it. i even tried to put up some fine mesh barrier thing on our security fence to block the water, but sometimes it would go over! and it was like 4 feet high! my paint eventually went to crap and now our concrete is starting to goto crap too cuz the water just wells up in a certain area. at least now my IS got promoted to the garage and i don't have to worry about the sprinklers anymore...
you should talk to your neighbor about having his sprinklers only water his lawn and not your car...

Have you tried talking to your neighbor about the problem? Maybe invite him over for a hamburger and work it into the conversation. I've found that when it comes to neighbors, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Seriously, though, I agree with Bichon. Ask your neighbor to give you a head's up whenever he's going to water his lawn, when your car is going to be in the path of his spray. That way you can move it somewhere else, and everyone is happy.
