Mothers PowerBall

Any good?

I have been trying to remove the water spots on the black window trims around the windows. They only come off if I keep rubbing and rubbing hard with my hand. Its getting very frustrating.

Will the mothers powerball do the trick?

I've had better luck with it on the wheels with their metal polish/cleaner.

Have you tried using clay on the window glass for water spots and wax on the trim?

I've used:

Back to Black - Zymol Cleaner Wax - Meguiar's No.9 Swirl Remover.

#9 works but I have to do it 4-5 times and leave it on for an hour each time. I also have to spend a good 5 minutes rubbing it in as hard/fast as I can or else it won't work.

was hoping if I get the powerball that it will get the swirl remover deep in there so the remaining water spots could disappear.

Zaino Z5 worked perfectly on my black window trim...

I too, have had good results with Zaino: initial Z1,Z2 way back when
and touch up with Z6.

The water spots on the windows are another story; I just live with
them.
