How to get rid of water marks/spots on my obsidian black IS??

The second type is really not a water spot but paint etching. It looks much like a waterspot but is more severe paint damage. This requires a strong polish to level the paint. This paint etching is common around coal fired power plants and large metro areas. The water that gets on the paint is highly acidic (acid rain) and as the water evaporates the acid concentration gets stronger and stronger, hence the paint damage. I'd suggest that the only way to effectively remove this damage is with machine polishing.
Sounds like you may have this latter condition.
BTW, I hope you and yours survived the tragic weather.

Two things pass as waterspots. One is dried mineral deposits and dust drying on the paint. These are usually relatively easy to remove, even when left for a while. Soaking with 50/50 white vinegar and water will usually dissolve the mineral deposits. An AIO would dissolve and remove them as well. So would clay and a mild polish.

I do not want to order things online, if i can buy it at like autozone/pepboys can anyone recommend and tell me what i can do?/ thx
Microfiber Towel

Klasse AIO
No more water spots.
After that I applied our very own BFWD and water does not create any spots even if I wipe it after few days.
