    last week, while nasa isang resort kami, sa may parking space eh may water sprinkler pala. eh natapat na dun ako naka park, pero nde pa naka on yung sprinkler. nung pauwi na kmi eh nag spray pala ng water kaya ayun daming watermarks sa hood and some parts of the car's body. ang sama pa eh sa sobrang init eh na sun-baked na yata yung marks.

    i tried to remove it by using EO cleaner wax. pero nandun pa din eh. kaya kaya to ng clay bar? ano advice on how to remove this? kakainis eh sobrang dami

    TIA!

    yup kaya yan ng claybar. tapos, wax it, tapos apply a quick detailer.
    o kaya dalahin mo na lang sa bigberts o sa suking detailing shop mo.

    Try mo 3M scratch remover, then follow up with 3M Hand Glaze then Wax to seal the surface. Solved na problem mo.

    Don't waste your clay. Wash and rub it lightly with some vinegar. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to get it worked over with some compound and polish.

    if cleaner wax doesn't work, use a polish, or have a professional detailer do it for you since they will have the tools for the job.

    Seriously, don't waste your wax. The residue from the sprinkler is most likely the result of hard water. Good luck getting mineral deposits off with claying. You need a mildly acidic solvent (vinegar), or abrasive polishing, if the minerals are stubborn.

    Just remember to wax after the vinegar wash, since the vinegar will strip your car of it.
