Water Spots
 
What is the best way to deal with removing water spots? The spots are not from car washing. I have to park near the sprinklers at work, and my car gets wet at night.
Black 2009.

try to avoid that area from now on if you can.

When I get water spots on the black parts of my Z I just give them a chance to dry out for a day, they wipe right off with spray detailer the next day.

Or you can just give it a little waxin'

that stuff is polish. if you use soft clay it wont remove your clear but remove contaminants.

rule of thumb for detailing is to use the least abrasive tools first.

I would definitely try claybar first.

I use Meguiar's quik detailer. $4 at walmart and is great in between washes/waxes. Keep that and a terry cloth in my car with me.

your first problem is that you are probably using hard water to wash your car. we both live in south texas..... you need soft water!

kenchan 11-17-2009 01:22 PM

he mentioned on his first post that he needs to park near sprinklers and gets wet at night.... (?)

For a minute I thought this thread was titled "Water Sports" :eek: must be my dirty mind playing tricks on me. :p

Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled programming ...

So does sand paper.

Think that's what kenchan was getting at when he said use the least abrasive tools first.

Duragloss PreCleaner #652 polishes your vehicle to a bright, smooth shine in preparation for the application of wax. The special abrasives level the edges of swirls and scratches, and remove water spots to create a smooth, uniform shine.

Then apply your favorite wax!

Is this a "polish" type of compound, contains abrasives? Or is it a chemical compound?
