    I've got a problem and could sure use some help. My Prius was parked at my girlfriends house and the sprinklers left water spots on the paint ( Blue Ribbon Metallic ). I have Zaino on the car and it still beads fine but I can't remove the spots. I have already tried claying a section with no luck.

    Can anyone tell me what you used to remove the spots? Any help would really be appreciated.

    You need to polish the area. Zaino has no cleaners in it, it is only a sealant. You could use Zaino Z-AIO which does have mild polish in it, or get a polish and use that, and then you would need to reapply Zaino over the area.

    You also might try vinegar. That does wonders. I really don't think polish will get it out unless you are using DA polisher or buffer.
