I have a black 94 GT and the hood and other parts have water spots so im gonna wash the car with vinegar. I saw it on autopia.
I have a gallon of distilled vinegar.. So what do i do.

I wash the car and dont dry it then use vinegar and just wipe it on with a sponge, and rub it in. Do one section at a time, let it sit 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse. But do i wipe on the pure vinegar from the one gallon jug or do i dilute it? Thats my main question. So then rinse the car and wash it.

My next question is. I live in south cali so it gets pretty hot sometimes so is there a point to wax my car since its black. I heard carnuba wax will burn off at like 180 degrees. So my car(black) in 100 degree weather could get up to that hot and the wax would burn off. So i should just polish the car?
 
Usually you start off with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water in a cup and use a soft towel and dip it in the vinegar and gently rub it on the water spots. You don't actually wash the whole car with it. If the 50/50 mix doesn't work that try it straight. By the way, use white distilled vinegar. This is only going to remove the deposits left behind by the water. If your paint has been etched already than vinegar isn't going to do anything for that. Water spots, just like bird droppings need to be removed quickly or they can be just as bad.
