Water spots on hood

[Seadoobuddy]

I have the green color hood on my 96 GTX. I'm having a tough time cleaning the water spots. I tried vinegar, tire shine, good fiberglass wax but they keep re-appearing even before it hits water. :willy_nilly: I just used Armor-All today to see if that helps.
Any ideas?

Try a brillo pad just go over it smoothly.

I used brillo pads on my hoods they cleaned up perfect were fadded and had spots. Now they look new and I usually just wax after every time.

brillo pad is WAY to slow. A belt sander with some 60 Grit will have those spots gone in mere seconds!

Just try sand blasting.

Lol it might work. Really a good wax to use though is a spray bottle Lucas wax it works well.

some of my bombardier letters started to peel off the hood so I just took em all off, but you can see where they were cause the rest of the hood is a shade lighter from fading.

Try using this http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product_detail.do?q=4717 It will bring it back to a mirror finish like it is under the stickers.

thanks, can it be used by hand or does it require a buffer?

Both, I use it by hand because I haven't mastered my new buffer yet.
