still have spots after wash..

i have black car and i kno its hard to keep clean..
ok..
i use meguiars deep crystal car wash..
and since my rear bumper has been replaced a month ago
im still not using glaze or wax or things like that cuz bodyshop told me to wait for 3months..
anyway..i wash my car in shadow or in the evening with water and wash mitt that i bought..
i wash it section by section..and rinse it often..
and i dry my car with The Absorber..
when i finished washing my car and dried it..
i saw some kinda spots all around the car..
i dont kno how to explain these in words but..dont kno..
its just kinda light spot on the surface of the car..
they can be looks like water spot..but im not sure at all..
hope u kno what im talking about..
and im sure that they cant be noticeable in light colored car like white or silver..
but in black its definitely noticeable if u see the car with a little care..
do u kno how to get rid of it?
it made me not feeling good after 3hours washing..

use some polish on the car to see if it'll take the spots out.

do you have a teflon clear coating on your car. cuz i got that. if that deterioates, i guess it could cause spotting. or it could your old wax fading out on certain spots. also beware of other chemicals that might have touched the paint. such as road salt or acid rain or bird crap.

Maybe you should try to clay the car once the paint sets in after 3 months. I bought a bunch of stuff and I'll be doing that tonight.

are you able to use meguiar's show time spray? i dont know if that is considered a wax or what. but i use it when im not able to throughly clean my car and wax it (i.e.-when im at school) and it shines it right up and gets rid of any spots left from drying.
