My car is black, and water spots are it's worst nightmare. Is there a way to take out water spots without a super rub down? I have to constantly wax my car to keep the water spots off.

Getting rid of water spotsDustin's97Z 07-27-2001, 03:29 PM My car is black, and water spots are it's worst nightmare. Is there a way to take out water spots without a super rub down? I have to constantly wax my car to keep the water spots off. ThePolisher 07-27-2001, 04:37 PM The best way to keep spots off obviously is to dry the car before the water dries. But if this is not possible, try to get a good polish on it with your favorite polish. Some polishes have a quick detail that will get off alot of spots after they are on. White vinager will get off hard spots, Clay bars will get off spots.

Polish/Wax can not guard off water and what is in the water, water spots are remnants of the minerals that was in the water that avaporated on the surface. It depends on the water and by in part what state you live in and what chemicals are in the rain water. You can not let water evaporate on the surface, no matter what kind or brand of wax or polish you are using. Never wash a car, especially dark colors in direct sunlight. Try to wash your car in the morning or late afternoon or evening... Never wash or use cold water on a hot paint surface. You must dry the car very well after washing. Another great tip is to use a Toro 215mph Electric leaf blower. Dries your car in about 5 minutes.... without even touching the paint surface.... If you car gets caught in the rain and the rain drop evaporate on the surface, immediate action must follow by by either washing the car or use the Z-6 (zaino's detail spray) to remove fresh water spots, that is one of the uses of Z-6. Most 'fresh' mineral deposits (water spotting, acid rain, etc.) can be removed with Z-7 Show Car Wash or Z-6 Gloss Enhancer spray. If they have been on the car for a while or Z-6 and Z-7 will not remove them. Use household white vinegar full strength. This is acetic acid and will loosen and remove the mineral deposits and not harm the paint surface. Most of the time, the water spot etching you see is simply the hardened mineral deposit, giving the illusion of etching into the paint. Believe me, when these mineral deposits harden. They become really tough and hard to remove. The trick is to not give them a chance to harden.

Black looks sweet when it shines, and if zaino does what it's suppose to it should look pretty good. Jerminator 07-31-2001, 08:52 AM Hey Kevin SS, That's a cool idea! I have a Torro too, I'll try it, but I hope my neighbors don't think I've lost it! | ||
