[@James1202.]

I'm a newbie at car detailing. I was a Chemist in my past career and now I own a pressure washing business and have decided to expand into car detailing. With just 3 months experience in detailing I did notice several water spots on a car I detailed today. I am self taught meaning that everything I know about detailing have primarily come from watching your videos. Living in Florida means we have hard water. To reduce that I add a small amount of McKee's N-914 or Absolute to my wash bucket making the water a bit 'softer'. I use McKee's or Absolute as my rinseless wash and lubricant prior to my main wash, which P&S Pearl is my shampoo of choice that has provided great results. I then proceed to rinse car and then apply a wax such as TW Wax & Dry, TW Graphene Flex, TW Seal N Shine allowing me to wax and dry the car at the same time. Then I apply P&S Bead Maker and Dream Maker mix to provide that extra gloss and hydrophobics. (As you can tell I like TW and P&S products but also have Carpro and Gyeon in my arsenal). I would think that this combination would help eliminate water spot formation. Is this the correct order to apply the wax first and then the Bead Maker afterwards or am I doing too many steps and wasting product? I assume applying the wax would provide the gloss and UV protection and the Bead Maker mix the hydrophobics and additional gloss afterwards, thus reducing the chances of water spot removal and making maintenance washes easier. Any advice you can give to a rookie would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great videos.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi James. There's a lot to digest in your text here hehe. I will try my best to give you some guidance. First, you would not use the TW Graphene Flex Wax or ICE Seal N Shine after each wash. Those are durable protectants and you run the risk of streaking and other issues if you use them too often. Once every 4 months or so for Seal N Shine is acceptable, and once every 6 months for Flex Wax. For drying aids when you are done washing your car in weekly washes, use something lighter like the TW Wax & Dry, or the TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax, or Bead Maker + Dream Maker mix, or CarPro Elixir or Gyeon Ceramic Detailer, etc. Those are light sprays meant for regular use. Regular washes and use of drying aids really will help prevent accumulation of water spots, but that still won't necessarily be the "be all end all" solution, if you have hard water. The best way to prevent it all together is get a water deionizer setup to add to your water source. A simple DIY setup like I did in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3yxfWSZnaaEjrssi=HaQS_00oZ5dS3ZkN As the water will have ZERO minerals after going through the deionizer, you should have a 100% spot free finish each time.

Pan, in the Gulf Coast area of Texas, just parking to go shopping this time of the year (September), there are early afternoon showers/rain/thunderstorms with temperatures of 85F (29.4C). The precipitation can last only 10 minutes and by the time I get back to the car, a lot of the water has already dried. Even though water spots are an enemy of ceramic coatings, I can’t wait to ceramic coat my vehicle. Hopefully, a short drive on the freeway might get more of the water off the car. For water spots on glass, I’ve used a scouring / cleaning powder from the kitchen called “Barkeepers Friend”. I learned about this from a window washer forum when I decided to clean the windows on my parents’ house. The Barkeepers Friend has some oxalis acid that helps with removing the etched in water stains. That would be an option for water spots on glass in addition to the vinegar & distilled water wash and doesn’t have the annoying acetic acid vinegar odor.

There are filters out there that contain a special resin that completely remove all minerals from the water. I bought one 12 months ago off ebay for $110.00 Australian dollars and can rinse my black car in the hot sun and have zero water spotting issues! I use a fine cleanable sediment filter prior to the resin filter to prolong the life of the filter. Absolutely the best investment ever for car washing.The actual cartridges can be refilled with fresh resin, which you can buy in bulk, once you start to notice any return of water spots. I think the window cleaning people were on to this system quite a while back. Hope this helps everyone with this annoying problem!

Amazing video! I will test it tomorrow. I found 3 water spots today on my spoiler. Tried green star on pre wash step nothing, tried again with different dilution after the iron remover in the end nothing again.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Green Star is an all purpose cleaner. It's not meant to remove minerals from water spots. The same applies to the iron remover. Iron removers are only meant to remove brake dust (iron particles). Not water spots. When water evaporates, it leaves behind minerals. Those minerals are acidic and can start etching through the clear coat if left unattended, especially in the baking hot sun. The best remedy is to wash the car more often. And use a water deionizer setup if you can. That has ZERO minerals in it, so you could even let the car air dry, and you would never get water spots. The next step up is to use a water spot remover. Ones like DIY Detail Water Sport Remover, CarPro Spotless 2.0 Gyeon Water Spot Remover, etc. Pretty much all big coating brands have them. You would wash your car first, then use the water spot remover. Always use on a clean surface. Then thoroughly rinse, and I would wash the car again to neutralize any left over residue. If that still doesn't work, it means the water spots have started etching deeper and you would need to machine polish the surface at that point. Some times, the water spotting is so severe that you also need water sanding steps. And then machine polishing.

Pan, great video. I live in a very dry (low humidity) area, and water spots are enough to drive one crazy. Tried the TW Ice Quick Detailer as a drying aid and wow did that work after taking a leaf blower to the car to clear the most of the water off the surface. Keeping in mind that the TW Ice Shine and Seal AND Ice Spray wax is already on the car so the surface is in primo condition and sheets water very well. I think I just found my new wash method without any streaking or hassles AND without putting too much wax on an already waxed surface since I wash the car weekly. Thanks Pan! Keep the tips and tricks coming! Wish I had a Pan emoticon for "keep it tight, keep it clean" for you buddy!

Hi Pan, I have a is350 with silver paint, and live in Washington, where it rains often. What would be the “strongest” between the three dedicated solutions? Nathan

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It always depends how bad the water spots are and how long they were left unattended on the surface and in the baking hot sun. Washing your car often helps prevent water spots from settling. If you do get water spots, here are the latest three methods in order form less to most aggressive: 1) Less aggressive is a mineral removing shampoo like this: bit.ly/3u2KsmZ 2) One level up in aggression is using a water spot remover like this: bit.ly/3vNKFM9 3) Last level if those two other methods fail is machine polishing (paint correction).

You are so welcome! Yeah one has to resist the urge of washing a car when it's too hot and sunny outside. That's actually the worse time to do so. Always work in the garage, or at least in the shade on a cool surface, ideally at the very beginning of the day, or very late in the afternoon/evening. Avoid noon as much as possible as that's when the hot is at its hottest/brightest.

Great vid pan, but could you maybe do a video on water marks and scuffs on the black piano gloss window trim? Maybe a subscribers car as your car is so well looked after. Those trim areas are tricky and a constant pain to remove water spots. Tks mate 👍

Typically, a light hand polish with Sonax Perfect Finish (or any finishing polish of your choice) does the trick on piano black gloss trim.

[@Finitolowpez]

Hi Pan! Thank you for the video. Today I had a client's car with this issue, I used 3 different produts and no luck, I even polished the surface with 3D ONE and didn't removed them. It is a classic black vehicle, I will try the Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener to see if it works on me.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Polishing is more aggressive than Wheel Brightener. So if polishing didn't do the trick, you either have to use a more aggressive compound and pad combination, or you're at the point of water sanding, and if that still doesn't work, it means the water spots did permanent etching damage and the only solution at that point will be a full panel respray.

[@Finitolowpez]

[@lisakaye75]

Hey Pan. Good info for removing and preventing water spots but I have a serious water spot problem. I have a 2007 Honda Civic in excellent condition and with low miles that I inherited. I loaned it to my son where it was getting hit by the townhouse complex sprinklers for almost a year and then baked in the sun. The damage is only on the drivers side thank goodness. After cleaning the car and exhausted all water spot removal tricks, I resorted to using a Rupes yellow pad and a Flex DA polisher. It removed some of the water spots and smoothed some of them down in some areas. The gloss on the paint is beautiful, but the etching of the water spots are still there. It almost looks like lint that was painted over. I ordered some blue Rupes coarse pads in hopes this will completely remove the deepest water spot etching. I am afraid of removing too much clear coat and not sure I should continue. Right now the paint is real glossy and beautiful except for the etching. Even if I put a sealant or wax coating, you would still see the nasty etching. Which is why I wanted to try the Rupes blue coarse pad. I am not sure if I am on the right path here. This is the first paint correction I have ever attempted. If I can't remove all the etching, what should I do to at least protect the paint?. Thanks again.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Ouch! Yeah in that scenario, most likely the water spots were left unattended for so long that they likely etched through the clear coat and left permanent damage/stains. When a water spot remover doesn't do the job, you move to a polish. If the polish still doesn't do the job, you have to move to a compound and heavier cutting pads. If that still doesn't do it, and you see the etching and halo left behind by the minerals, there is likely only one or two solutions left. WATER SANDING, or a full panel respray. The minerals in the water droplets, once the water evaporates, turn acidic in chemistry and will burn through the clear coat, especially when left to bake in the hot sun for extended periods of time. If caught within the same day or two, most often you can correct that, but after a week or more, it starts to get tricky. The only way to know how much paint is left to work with is to use a paint thickness gauge, as I show in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6LXqIWVnpqKgZY If the paint seems in good condition (other than the water spotting) and hasn't really been polished before, most likely you have a lot of paint to work with and it's not a few polishing or compound passes that will burn through the paint. I hope this insight helps.

[@lisakaye75]

@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you for your quick response. No the paint has never had a paint correction done on it. I will get a paint guage just to be sure I have enough paint to work with. Thank you for the paint guage link. If not, should I seal the paint anyway? I have used Ammo Reflex Pro with great success. If I can't continue with the paint correction, should I seal it anyway? My guess is yes.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Wait until you are done correcting the paint first. You wouldn’t want to be applying protection if you’re not satisfied with the water spot removal, as polishing again on top of fresh protection is counterproductive. Once you are at the end of your steps to correct the issue, then you protect.

[@tkgdetailing2571]
