Default Water Spots!
While washing my bike today in the shade I stated to blow dry it dry and did pretty most of the bike, but noticed water spots so I went over it with the a damp micro towel most of them came off but notice some that didn't. Does anyone know how to get them off, it's bugging the hell out of me!!

Pledge and the micro fiber. Any scent will do. I am serious.

I use a glass cleaner to get rid of waterspots. Works great on all surfaces and especially chrome.

Believe it or not, water. Damp rag will loosen the minerals and it should wipe off.

It did most of it, but there were a few the didn't, I guess I need more elbow grease, or I'll try the Pledge!

I think a towel would better than a blower with hard water.

Your probably putting to much on the bike, just lightly spray it on a microfiber cloth and polish the bike with it.

Wizards Mist N Shine, great stuff. I use it all the time and it really makes the paint look deeper too. Sometimes i use it in place of a bath. Easy to keep a clean bike clean.
