Help! Waterspots on my Selenite Gray Magno Metallic paint
Need some help/guidance here. My neighbor's sprinklers soaked my car earlier today which then baked into the paint in the midday sun. Not knowing the details of this paint, I ran it through a touch free car wash, dried it by hand, then tried to use cleaner wax on the hood to get the water spots out. It didn't touch them. Then tried to clay the car but also to no avail. I have owned the car 2 weeks and beyond frustrated that this happened. Any advice would be appreciated as it looks like i am unable to have a paint correction done on this car prior to a ceramic coating or PPF.

The key to correcting water spots on your finish is to combine proper cleaning with targeted spot treatment: begin with a thorough wash using a pH-neutral shampoo, then use a water spot remover to address the mineral deposits left by the sprinklers. For stubborn spots, a light mechanical polish with a dual-action polisher may be required to restore the paint’s clarity. Following these corrective measures, applying a ceramic coating can be a wise move—it offers an extra layer of protection that minimizes the likelihood of similar issues recurring, while also making regular maintenance more manageable.
