What's the Best Way to Remove Waterspots?

ChrisBimmer · 08-17-2011, 02:08 PM

Right now I'm using Quick Detailer and a MF. The spots aren't hard to remove. But just curious what the pros say.

And yes I did search...with not really a clear cut answer some said use waterspot remover. My question really is my way OK or totally against the detailing gods?

Quick detailer's typically contain a wax or polymer and water, using them on an acid will cover the acid, allowing it to react with moisture and heat, which makes the acid more aggressive

Alternative product- Duragloss Water Spot Remover is a spray-on, wipe-off formula that allows you to wipe away mineral deposits resulting from hard water, an. effective method of eliminating water spots on paint, clear coats, and glass.

I like the DuraGloss remover better than the Chemical guys one I have. CG one smells like solvent and barf mixed together. Another home brew remedy is white vinegar and distilled water but do not let that dwell on your paint too long.
