CG Water Spot Remover

Used Chemical Guys Water Spot Remover for the first time today. Unfortunately the results were not what I expected. Followed the instructions but the water spots did not come off.

Has anyone else used this product and what was the results?

Clay Bar always. Paint is silky smooth to the touch but in the right light you can see the water spots..... not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I should have left it on the paint a bit longer (was on < 1 minute) and I did lighty rub it in.

You can leave the CG Water Spot Remover on longer for deeper cleansing action or use a little more elbow grease when working it into the paint. Unfortunately, since it's non-abrasive, if the water spots are etched into the paint, it may not remove them. This product is ideal for mineral deposits still remaining on the paint after the water has evaporated. It really boils down to why type of spots you are trying to tackle.

Let us know if anything I mentioned helps improve your results.

Cool. Thanks for the input George. I was worried after reading the instructions that it would eat the finish if I left it on too long.
