Advice for stubborn water spots

[ProfileX]

I just recently bought my first Adams products, and I'm looking for advice on some very stubborn water spots. My car was about a year old when it sat outside in a hotel parking lot for a couple days, and I don't know if the lawn spinklers use swamp water or acid rain came down but there were some serious water spots that made me sick to my stomach.

 

I have a Griot's 3" pneumatic orbital, which I think works similar to the Flex polisher by combining oscillation with rotation. I used a clay bar and Griot's machine polish #2 (the second most abrasive). I tried white vinegar after reading the water spots FAQ here: http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/general-detailing-discussion-questions/14737.htm

 

The spots are a lot better but I can still see them under the flourescent light in the garage and even though most people can't see them it really bugs me. But I'm not a professional and I'm worried I might damage the finish if I try any harder.

 

Advice?

 

Should I buy Adam's severe swirl remover and maybe the Flex polisher?

 

Should I take it to a professional?

 

Or should I just stop looking at it under flourescent lights?

I had some water spots and the flex polisher combined with the sshr and then following up with shr and fmp did the trick. Of course I washed and clayed first, but that didn't do much to the spots.

You might want to get the griot's 5". i have no problem getting waters spots off with the 5" griots off my customers cars.
