Hey Guys,
I bought me a black 03 Cobra and the paint needs to be worked on some.  The main problem is the hard water spots.  I heard that using a water vinegar mixture would remove the ones on th ewindow but how bout the paint.  Any suggestions for a fix?

you are probably going to need to clay bar it, then use a good polish on it.  after you do that you can coat it with a sealant or wax, and you should be looking like new again.

+1 to ryan

before a polish, and after claying you might want to try a chemical cleaner wax. if the spots aren't etched then the cleaner wax should be able to get them off.

however, if the car had hard water spots in it before you bought it, there's a good chance they're etched in the clear. the dealers let them sit on the lot, get hit with the sprinklers, and let them bake in the sun.
