Angry Black car in Hawaii

Hey everyone,
I shipped my SAV to Hawaii and when it arrived it had small white WATERSPOTS all over it. How can I remove these?

Water spot removers like Optimum MDR or CarPro Spotless. If they etched into the paint you will have to look into polishing/compounding (always work from least to most aggressive).

Thanks. Do any of you think the dealership could remove these with a WATERSPOT treatment?

I would suggest finding an auto detailer instead of a dealership.

Yes definitely, and get the car treated with paint sealant similar to GTECHNIQ CRYSTAL SERUM. See...

could be baked on salt from seawater. Likely will need some serious paint correction work done on it. Post pics!
