StubStang Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hey all, Currently washing/ detailing a family members car. The car sits next to a sprinkler with hard, untreated water every day so now the drivers side has a trillion spots. Ive tried clay bar, its not very effective. Any ideas to speed up the process??

0 TheWolf Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Try some RP. If that does not work, then you will probably have to machine polish them with PCP. scootertrash19, StubStang, EESmith and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 StubStang Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Try some RP. If that does not work, then you will probably have to machine polish them with PCP. Noted. Thanks for the input! Looks like they're gonna have to wait on getting the water spots removed. Ordering RP now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 The Guz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I would pick up the correcting and finishing polish instead and let the abrasives work for you. TheBurninator and StubStang 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure if you already had some RP. I figured if you had some you could try it. I would say a car with a lot of spots from repeated sprinklering will most likely require machine polishing. Do you have a polisher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unfortunately my friend who has one was not available to help with this detail today. He owns a polisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LFairbanks Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I had the same issue here recently that your dealing with. I ended up going to the local auto parts store and picking up some water spot remover. There were two types that were available. The strongest one wasn't in stock where I went. It was made by that M company and worked better than anything I had in my Adams arsenal. And I have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cobayashi Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) you could water down some distilled vinegar and give it a wipe down if your in the process of stripping to reseal and wax.

0 BluedogGMC Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I started with Revive and it did work on the lighter stuff but had to use the PC and Paint Finishing Polish to get them out. This was my post. http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/29331-water-etching-was-a-pain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of stuff from that M company is actually really good. Just not most of the stuff found at walmart. The Guz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
