How Do You Remove Hard Water Spots From Automotive Paint?
Hard water spots, while unsightly, are not permanently damaging to automotive paint. They are usually the result of incomplete or improper drying of your vehicle. When water is allowed to air-dry on the vehicle, hard water spots are the result. To remove them, polish the clear-coat. This job could take you several hours depending on how many water spots are covering your vehicle. Apply a liberal amount of car polish to the surface of your vehicle’s paint (where the hard water spots are). Work the orbital buffer into the polish and paint. Start with the buffer off, then turn the buffer on and gradually increase the speed. Wipe the area clean with a clean, lint-free towel when the hard water spots are gone. You will notice the car’s paint shine with a “wet” look. This is the result of the car polish.
