Zainos gods, i need ya help
 
Ok i have a 2003 black evo, has been washed and well kept but with normal car cleaning stuff. Now im doing the zanio's i striped it twice with dawn, then did the claybar. Now my issue is that the paint has like these water spots that are like in the paint. NOt like the stuff you just get when the car dries with water on it. I figured the clay would take it out as it pulls the bugs and tar super fast, but im not having any luck. These spots are only on the roof and hood and its all over. I am going to try the Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleanser Swirl Remover, but i always thought the claybar was the god for removing stuff like this. Any help is apriciated. thanks guys

I would try the Scratch/Swirl remover and see if that helps. Claybar take off contaminents off the paint but not swirls/scratches/etc.

Good luck!

Will be doing the Zaino day too hopefully next week!

Hard water spots will etch the paint if not taken care of within a week or two. These spots will probably only respond to some sort of polishing compound.

That's totally correct information. Sounds like you have type II damian :(

Z-PC will not do too much IMO. You need to grab yourself a Porter Cable, some hard cutting pads, and polishes and compounds to perfect the surface. Zaino wont make your car beautiful...proper PREP will. Find a detialer in your area to do a defect removal with your paint before sealing it.

yeah mine dont look that bad, more like the outer faded ring, if this zanos does not work ill hit up a body shop for a polish job.
