I have found water spots on my car because of the neighbors sprinklers. I tested different ways of removing them with out rubbing on the paint with no success and than out of the blue my girl said try distilled water.

I poured a little on a new micro fiber towel and lightly wiped it on. Then dried it with a synthetic shammy. Gone, and I mean gone.

 

huh....

 

Yep, it works - I've been using this for years. And........

add a little white vinegar to it and it removes water spots from windows too.

 

really???? I will be trying this soon

 

As picky as i am about cleaning and have been trting new things for years now I have never tried that, but will soon.

 

+1,
Yeah, that generally works pretty well and is cheap. You can also buy some products that safely remove hard water spots from glass and paint.
This is good stuff but pricey, but I would prefer to use it on a new or expensive paint job.

Damn neighbors with their sprinklers.

 

I use this. Works great. Even use it on shower glass.

We have hard water here.

You can also use a water De-ionizer filter set, if you prefer to wash without hand drying. (hand drying can induce micromarring, and fine swirl marks) A de-ionizer allows you to wash your car and let it sit and air dry without water marks. For those of you with show quality paint jobs.

 

I'm going to try this. I've tried every product known to remove spots on my 82 Trans Am ttops and nothing will take the spots off that glass so far. Not even 0 gauge steel wool will take it off. I've tried buffing the glass, etc. and it does not come off. I gave up on it a couple years ago and haven't tried any of the new products that have come out since yet. I don't know what is on those tops but they look like my shower door except it will not come off.

 

lol

have to look into there products

i wish i would of knew this when i was a kid always hand waxing entire car "moms car" by hand to get those damn water spots out from the sprinkler literally a all day thing..

then to tired to do anything else for the rest of the day lol.i do have arm muscles now.. guess her way of keeping me out of trouble lol

 

They make good products, like everything not all of them are great.

Look into pro detailing equipment, and products. You know, stuff you can find on the shelves at auto-zone.

I buy my products from detailedimage.com, autogeek, and sometimes amazon.

 

I just bought a whole bunch CG's stuff, after using their back to black aerosol spray. I hope the polishes, glazes, and waxes turn out good

I buy from autogeek, and usually they seem to some pretty decent sales if your watching.

 

Check out detailed image they have a new deal of the day every day. Some of the deals are real good.
