water spots? or what?
I came back from a short road trip the other night. The next morning, I noticed a whole lot of bugs on the front. So, thinking it'd probably rain later in the day (it is FL, you know), I went to the self-serve car wash and just rinsed off the bugs and subsequently the whole car from dirt and stuff. I didn't take the time to dry it, just drove off with it wet.
I washed it this morning and got most of the spots off. But on the hood, there are multiple spots. It's almost like a thin, film. Maybe there was a minute amount of soap in the rinse? The hood was pretty hot when I took it there. Any suggestions as to how to get these spots off? I went over it a little bit with my fingernail and it didn't help. HELP!

White vinegar on a clean cotton cloth, let it set a minute and work it some, in the shade of course...

Thanks guys. I ordered a Zaino kit last night. Should be here by week's end. I'll plan on giving my 135i the full treatment (as long as Hurrican Hanna stays away)!
P.S: my car is a rain magnet! I've only gotten to wash it twice during the month I've had it because of rain! Grrr.
