Default Removing water spots on many layers of sealant?

Alright i have like 10 layers of Liquid Glass on my car. I notice with the more layers of a sealant like that when you get a water spot. It goes through a layer or few making it unable to wipe off due to its a actual indentation through the sealants. Or at least thats what i think is happening.

What do you think is the best way to remove these spots with out actually whipping out a porter cable?

So far I am thinking trying claybar might be the only way if at all possible to smooth down the area's

I don't think the clay bar will do it....This site has some great products. I have been buying from them for years. The guys on the phone also know some interesting tricks as well!!

+1 Great people! Lucky for me they are local and I got to meet them last week at their shop. Had no idea until I spoke with them that they are the makers of the Blackfire products

you need to get a hard water spot remover from a detail shop-it is acidic slightly and does not harm the paint or clear coat.. Wear gloves when you use it. It will remove the etching as well that has occurred. I had to deal with this when i first got my black cherry and washed it with my well water. OH BOY. Since then i have gotten a filter system.
I bought the hard water spot remover from a place here in NC-called "Magestic Solutions" 1-888-950-6606 or Majestic Solutions :: Official Site They are very knowledgable. They came out of the shop to look at my car and helped me out . I highly rec this product.

I am not getting these spots from washing my car. Its getting there from water getting on the car at night via condensation then some how burning its way through during the week.

Not sure i want to use something i cant even touch with my own hands.

well the reason you wear gloves is because your hands are exposed to it longer than your car is(applying it) and skin is diff than clear coat. However, if you dont want to do it, you can polish them out with a porter cable.

the product i use and some detailers here use (because of high mineral content of water here in southeast) is Bio-clean 1-800-341-5417 is their direct line or biocleanproducts@yahoo.com.

i can just tell you it did a great job on my 370. I know people who use the bioclean with a PC as well. Anyway-your car-your choice of what to do. I just wish you the best.
