Water Spots - Any way to prevent them?

[RJones]

I detailed my dad's truck last night, looked like new. This morning is had rained and the water beaded beautifully. Later this afternoon, i look and there are water spots. Same thing with my car, rain, sun comes out and you have waterspots. How can i prevent them. I guess the main way could be to dry your car after each rain shower, I don't have a garage. Is there any other way to prevent water spots?

ThanksFeed back please

theres really no way . if it rains and right after it stops i would go out there with some q/d and a microfiber towel and wipe down the car. that will take care of the water spots . but i wouldnt wait to long after it rains do to dust in the air flying around and landing on the paint you dont want to rub that in.

Dang, when i get my own house, its gonna have a garage.

One more quick q, is Pinnacle Crystal Mist or some of those $20 bottles (16oz) QD's really much better than poorboys S&G, their only $9 a bottle.

Spray and Gloss is a nice offering as is their Spray and Wipe, one just has more glossing agents. A good wax or sealant will help reduce water spots, but removal is speed as sun can burn them in and etch clearcoating.

A top quality sealant will prevent those.
Topping it with wax also helps alot

I won't mention the brand of sealant I've used that stops them as you won't like it. One of those that starts with G andanother that starts with F. Same company makes them and are not polymer based.
