Can someone recommend a good product? I have used Meguiar water spots removal with mixed results.

In my past life when I was in boating, we would use half vinegar and water. Not sure if I want to use it on the Z yet .

It’s called a garage :p sorry I kid.
I’m in there with you, I’ve discovered the Z’s paint doesn’t hold mustard to a lot of natures issues like water spot or even bird poop.
Not to mention I work next to a construction zone so I get nailed with dust and grit.
Chemical Guys and Maxlone have the highest consumer reports around. I use Chemical Guys for a number of cleaning areas on my Z and get fairly good results. Haven’t tried their water spot removal stuff though, yet.

This stuff is for real - the cut ranges from low to heavy. Start low and move up the scale as needed. The 3.5 cut fixes most of my paint problems

The Nissan factory paint & clearcoat is soft on the Zs. I don’t like using (or letting a detailer use) cut products or buffers just to remove the water spots. It’s likely to be dried calcium or limescale. You’re basically cutting into the layers of clear-coat. Just remove the spots! Chemical Guys does an orange gel that works well for me. It’s called HD (Heavy Duty ) water spot remover. Even works safely on glass. Follow directions and it’s great stuff.
