Right now I'm using Colinite 845 but if I don't go over the car with a QD IMMEDIATELY after, the spots are there until the next wash or pass with the G110. Any suggestions?

Damn. I've read bad things about Autogeek's system and every other system I've seen was WAAAAAy expensive. Nothing better than 845, huh?

Look at the Griots garage filter. May not be the 100% best but damn better than nothing

+1 on above answers. I've tried every wax under the sun and can say that bad water will eat through LSPs like they are warm butter!

So far Zaino ClearSeal has beat out Collinite in terms of resisting water spots.

Nothing can really "beat" mother nature though.

I just did a dual filter setup akin to the autogeek setup; one filter; one water softener. Worked WONDERS for my after-washing waterspot issues. Makes everything better.

I use Collinite 845 on my 07 GT since ive moved into a new apartment, they run the sprinklers like crazy. I also use Duragloss Aquawax every other wash or so.
For the most part it resists them from etching too far into the paint, but im still going to have to polish every 6 months to keep it looking good (for my standards). i doubt any other wax will significantly outperform Collinite waxes in this reguard. I cant say enough good things about Collinite waxes, such a good product for $15.

Exactly. My CR SPOTLESS system was not cheap but with it I have little to no water spots left behind... :coolman:

Yeah....I saw your thread while searching. If I had a house I'd get one in a heartbeat but I can't justify that kinda coin right now. I envy ya....:beer:
