How do I...

My wife decide to help out and wash the car while I was at work yesterday.

Nice of her but she left the car to dry in the sun. Now I have dried water stains.

How can I get rid of them??

Thanks for your help

wash it again by hand. you may have to use a cleaner wax like Zymol if they are real bad.

yep, that's pretty much it. give it a good scrub. and show her how to do it this time, but in a nice way. like you're trying to actually teach her, not like "see, this is how you SHOULD have done it."

Try buying that Mr. Clean car wash system. It costs about $20 and filters the rinse water so it doesn't leave spots. I used one for over two years and loved it.
I usually just took a nice ride to blow off most of the water and whatever was left didn't leave spots.

Be happy it's not black, you have to wash a panel... then dry that panel, wash the next panel and dry that panel. Then for safe caution at the end I soak the whole car and dry the whole car.

Well you dont wanna go hurting her feelings by re-washing it when it's "clean"

So go for a drive somewhere and hit a puddle or a dirty road then when she asks why you washed it again you can tell her cause you accidentally got it dirty
