Paint problem, help?

Alright, at one point it was raining everyday for a good month it seemed, so I didnt wash my car. Now it has like what seems to be "permanant" water spots all over the car. I tried to get a pic, maybe you cna make it out, maybe not. You can only see it from certain angles in the sun light. I will try to get a better pic in the morning with the sun out and all.

Any help is appreciated. Look around the flash, you can see it a little bit.

that was stupid. wash the car with dawn to strip the wax off and then claybar the car. if spots remain in some places you need to use a swirl remover or degreaser but the clay bar should do it. then you re-wax it.

Porter Cable, random orbital polisher, with a good polish, then seal it and wax it.

ill find a good thread with good products and DIY.

usually when i wax it they come off from rubbing them out ya know? but they didnt this time and i didnt really notice how bad it was til it was gone. so dawn strips the wax off, then do the clay bar deal.

DON'T use the dawn, I hope that you see this before you try it. You do not want to get any detergent within 500 feet of your car. It can dry the **** out of your paint. Wash your car with a good car soap, get a good claybar and spend your time on it. Pick up some nice swirl remover (http://www.poorboysworld.com), and try and get it off by hand. It might take awhile, but it's better than buying a PC just to remove some oxidation spots.

x2 but I know what you're talking about... it rains a lot here in Florida and with my car being black, the sun just dries the shit out of the water and leaves white rings all over the car. Usually after 2-3 good washes they're gone.
