Well i live in APT's and they cant seem to fix the water sprinkler from watering the cars and the concret, i have had real bad water spots on my Black lightning, everyone said to use windex class cleaner or also i have heard use vinegar and water. What should i use. its real bad, i have washed it 3 times and i can still see them, damm SA and the line stone water. what should i do?

 

I had that exact problem several years ago. Not exactly legal but I fixed the problem. When the offending sprinkler head is off and will be off for a while. squirt about 1/2 tube of clear silicone caulk in there. It won't bother your truck again.

Option #2 send them a bill for a good detail and paint correction and threaten small claims with proof that you've made multiple complaints about it.

If you're looking to cure the spots yourself you can. I don't know if you have a DA or not but it can be done either way. I tied into one in July that I did the following

Washed with Gold Class
Claybar with Meg's blue bar lubbed with Megs final touch detailer
Meg's #9 swirl remover /w G100-megs polishing pad
Meg's #7 polish /w G100-megs finishing pad
Meg's #26 as the LSP /w megs foam hand applicator

Before correction and after wash


After

is there any other products you know that could do the same??
there are none of those in my area.... ..

 

Chemical Guys Hard Water Spot remover will help you, but you need to follow the directions to a T....

I am working on a truck with the same issue, but think of your paint then 10X, that is what I am working on.

I did some work on it today and it does work. It will be a long day for you working on the paint. You need to wash the surface, then use the spot remover then rinse agian with water...so you need to keep the surface wet.

 

I'm a magnet for these etchings. My 05 has them pretty bad and even our 08 Mustang has them. I recently clayed the Mustang and DA'd with 7, 9, 80, 83 and I didn't even dent the spots. For $20 this looks like it's worth trying.

Why isn't this on the Chemical Guys site, was it discontinued?

 

Its not on the site, but the product is readily available from their suppliers etc...I happen to talk to them on the phone and worked out a deal to pick it up from the site

 

If it's that hard to find here, it's probably just about impossible in Saipan.

 

Household grade vinegar, sponge on clean surface, use hand glaze and then wax you should be fine.

 

any negative effects of vinegar on the paint? Use full strength or cut?

 

Wash it, then use full strength household vinegar on a sponge. You don't need to rub the paint, just keep wiping it with the sponge and they will come off. Let the vinegar do the work. You will have to re dip the sponge now and then because the minerals from the water spots will neutralize the acid in the vinegar. Once they are off, wash off with clean water and apply your favorite wax. You will be good as new.
