Rinse with the nozzle off. then dry with microfiber cloths. Important. Any residue of water should be removed with Meguires Ultimate Detailer. This will take out water spots once you've moved the car and water comes out from the mirrors and other areas. Thats it. Mines black and perfect.
How would leaving the soap on it help me any though? I do use the sheeting method when rinsing it off.
I just recently started using the detailer after a wash.
I need to get the current water spots off now to see if these methods work.

I do the same thing. Wash & let it dry and then rinse it all at once. The soap acts as a surfactant suspending the water. When you rinse, it reactivates the soap. And I use a QD afterwards as well to get the last of the spots.

Yeah, Indiana water is like 50% water & 50% limestone. And it's not nearly as bad where you are as it is in Southern Indiana.

pending how bad they are you might need to buff that area, i wouldnt dig on it with a microfiber towel and detail spray
