Default Waterspots on doorpanels??

Literally the day after I took delivery of my TC, it rained... a lot. The dealership got it waxed really well so the water beaded up, however, when I got in the car all that beaded up water dripped on my doorpanels.

Now I've got several white waterspots on the door beneath the handle and a couple on the dash above the mirror adjustment switch.

Any ideas on how to clean those off?

As a side note, on the lower doorpanel there are some scratches and scuffs from my watch while I was adjusting the seat. Anything to clean up those?

Thanks in advance!

A damp towel or absorber will just wipe it off. You can also use an interior shine product, though I wouldn't use one since it can leave an oily mess with the cheaper brands.

Get shining monkey for the interior. It works great :D

no point of cleaning it if its going to rain again. I couldn't even enjoy my drive back in dry weather.

When you wash your car add some "Jet Dry" to your water. I did that and the water seemed to roll right off when I washed mine.

I've got one of those Mr Clean AutoDry dealies. Works really well, though I need to buy the refills.

Anyone ever used one of those blade things? I saw a guy detailing his car with one of those.

ive tried the mr clean auto dry, good stuff + make it pop w/drying the car immideatly w/a 210mph weed blower.. then it's clean


for the waterspots.. meguiers makes a "clear coat scrub" that takes waterspots off really well...make sure you wax after use.
