water spots from washing? all you need to do is properly dry your bike.

I use 2 towels to dry, 1 for the first dry, then one for the final dry, then i use the semi-wet first dry towel to wipe down again, then REWIPE with the dry towel, shines up better than any product you can buy

Leaf Blower. S-100 engine brightener. FYI S-100 makes the harley brand engine brightener and it's a bigger can for the same money.

you really use a leaf blower? seems like that would destroy paint over time.

Try cleaning the spots with a cottonball soaked with vinegar.
