spots from water
I have a 07 Ultra, black that lives on my carport under cover here in South Florida.
Have a water spot issue I've never seen before. Only on the plastic parts, tourpac, bags, lowers, etc. if you drip water, doesn't mater if it's from the tap or rain water, it forms a white spot. No amount of wax, cleaner etc will remove it, only waiting and after 15 min or so it fades and disappears. This is only on the plastic parts, tank and front fender have no issues, all waxed with the same wax. Almost looks like the water is being absorbed into the paint.
New one on me.
Help and thanks

Try Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Then hit it with a good wax and polish.
To avoid water spots, always wash and dry your bike in the shade and make sure the surface is cool to the touch.

That little bottle lasts a long time, use it on your cars or split cost with a friend. Only takes drops to make plastic new.
Good luck!
