I did some searching on the magic Erasers.

🤣 Oh boy, Magic Erasers are like the wild card of cleaning tools—miraculous on grime, but savage on finishes. Some of the ā€œdon’t even think about itā€ warnings people share are downright hilarious (and a little terrifying).
Here's some good advice for you guys :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

"Don't clean your genitals with it ever! Unless you're trying to do selfie gender reassignment. Even then, I'd advise going to a licensed doctor who has a little experience in that field."

Like OG says, wash with something like GTechniq decon wash, then a fallout remover, clay bar, polish with 3D Polish, and seal it up with some Adam's graphene ceramic spray. Sounds like a lot but honestly very easy. Took me an afternoon for the 170.

To prevent it recurring wash with the CR Spotless filter. My original resin lasted over 3 years and replacement bulk resin was cost effective. You dont even have to really dry the car, just blow off with a leaf blower and done.

Had similar spots on a Jeep. Clay bar, beers, and lots of patience got them removed safely.

Simple and the accepted proper way. I do not know shit about anything called ā€œmagicā€. Forget-about-it.

Clay it. That WILL remove the water spots. Then you need to treat it and protect it.

After the clay use this.

Then it does not matter but at your choice then apply a wax or protection layer of your choice. Regular, ceramic, whatever but get a coat of protection on it.

Whatever you do to the water at home quit using whatever spotted it. That can be minimized by wiping the car off quickly and completely after a wash, period, no exceptions to that rule no matter what water you use.
