Ok, when I got my car it had some pretty noticeable(to me) water spots on the trunk lid and the top. Anybody got some good ideas for how to get rid of them or am I stuck with em?

Do it yourself, seems difficult, but no one will work on your car harder than you will-wash places dont' really care and somehow sh** just appears after a week. I hated washing my car, now i do it evry sunday with two buddies, and it costs a whole lot less than paying for car washed.

If you go to a pro detailer the results are immaculate. "car wash places" are cheap, use poor quality products and untrained ataff which is why the results are sub-par or don't last long.

Euroaudi said it perfect, check out zainostore.com, thats what i use and has an excellent shine, takes some time but you will definately be happy with the results, plus if u put 2 coats on it protects and your car beads great for a good six months...and stay away from car wash places do it yourself!

Am I going to get flamed if I say that I always take my cars through the water-only washes and then do the finishing touches myself?
I learned my lesson years ago when one of the brush-type drive through washes scratched the crap out of my hood and I figured that the spray only washes were the best / cheapest alternative if I wanted to be lazy. No?

Used to do the drive through (i'm a clean fanatic) and did finishing touches myself - now with new wheels I was told NEVER take it through auto wash. So, I get the lowers painted this week and as I'm picking up the car the guy sez "one small snag" - as they took it though the auto wash one of my new ECS smoked sides falls off (they do not fit as well as OEM) and they couldn't find it. Okay that sucks I'm thinking, but also panic-ing - are my wheels gonna be all f'ed up now... well, they weren't - but - still gonna continue to do it myself...

Can you explain why you wouldn't take it through the auto wash with new wheels?

he said that due to the wide lips on the wheels they were more likely to get scratched on the guide rails that most autowashes use. This makes sense cause just my stock wheels were scraped a couple of times in this manner and the new wheels are wider and have a prominent lip.
