well, some how my bike was wet today, and dried.... and now I have huge nasty ugly water spots.
Washing, and waxing has done nothing.... I don't want to use rubbing compound on it.... any other suggestions?
Get a good quality spray detailer?

if there was a slappy icon..... you would deserve it.
how bout just using this icon :2guns: or this even :cookoo: or the ever popular :nono:
no. you need the slappy icon....
a spray detailer is actually less effective than wax..... and I used a "Cleaner Wax" which has a mild grit to it.... I hate McGuire's... I wanna go back to Black Magic.
Nevr-dul on the frame and engine to get rid if waterspots and rust underneath the paint. I'm not sure if even I would use it on the gastank. Maybe test in inconspicuous spot?
I have like, the classic "Nev-r-Dull"... which was banned some time in the late 40's.... if you're in the same room with it for more than a minute you get all loopy.
I love the stuff.

well, what I ended up doing was.....
after my initial attempt....
I washed it with Dishwasher Degergent.... to remove any old wax deposits (I was and wax about 4x per month).
Then I washed it with regular auto wash.
THEN I used cleaner wax again.
Then I used what little black magic I had left.
Then I used "ICE" wax.
Then I spot detailed....>
For those of you that are worried... it came out fine.
WD-40 works on most water spots, to include cleaning of shower doors.
If these are hard water stains, you can use household vinegar (yes, mild acid, I know).
just remember to clean and wax as soon as you're done and presto, no more hard water stains!
I do this for my car, comes out fine.
