I've been using 0000 steel wool with a good window cleaner for the last 30 years gets rid of the water spots, don't use on inside it you have tint or around the defrost wires on the rear glass.

Where do you buy the mirafiber towels? At the NCRS in Florida I saw a lot of locals were using a product called 'Rejex' it must be similar to 'Triple Play'.
I was told to make sure your car is spotless before you use it because it seals everything.

There are "fluffy" microfibers that usually sell one or two to a lot that I use to gently wipe dust off the car - they will also take off fingerprints and such off windows.
My car is literally so "slick" from all the wax/detail spray/trim shine/etc. that almost nothing sticks to it - windows included. I cannot even stick painters tape to the molding to protect it from wax anymore. My point with this is - bugs aren't nearly as bad to clean off if you have a "slick" car. Last show I went to was 2 hours away and bugs almost fell off by themselves when I got there.
I have at least 3 more shows this year - I think after those I will wash it with Dawn and "paint correct" it again - and use a product called "Chadwicks Triple Play" for next year. It hardens and seals - and you use it like a detail spray instead of washing the car. I need something that works, yet saves me from doing 3-4 coats of wax...

Here is the product website: http://ultimatestreakfree.com/
I got mine on E-Bay from a vendor:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTIMATE-CLO...item3ce1c3a18d

I have to call this guy before I buy - but I've been chatting with his detailer online for a while. Stuff should save me a ton of labor - but I want to talk with him first to make sure it's what I need... http://chadwickstripleplay.com/

I use Rejex on wheels and cars with light colored paint. I also generally like it for cars parked outside because it can last 4 months or so on daily drivers that get washed a lot. Probably good for 6 months for a garage queen.

There might be better products, but not at the $14-$20 price point. For my black ZR-1, I use a couple of types of synthetic wax- mainstream brands, but special order for ones without cleaner/polish in them like you typically get at the autoparts store. it is really more about how you use the products and finding good combinations from trial and error.
