HELP! Water marks?

[blackbetty]

you wont get water marks if you use your waffle towel to dry it

I also heard using Turtle Wax ICE Car Wash does the trick "will not leave any soap film or water spots". Anybody tried?

Water spots come from the left over minerals in the water ....So unless it can magically take them out ...no.

No if you want a spotless rinse i.e. no drying use a deionizer

I think all it is saying is that it is "free rinsing". In other words, when you rinse with water, none of the wash will be left behind to cause a streaky mess. This is nothing more than what you would expect from a car wash.

Don't know about that water spot part though

You pretty much hit the nail on the head Lynchy. Fresh watermarks will quickly disappear with a damp cloth. Any that don't have been there beforehand.

Then it depends on how bad they are to how you remove them. Some will just need a non-abrasive paint cleaner like Victoria Wax Deep Cleanse which you can apply by hand. The only other option if that doesn't work is to go abrasives.

And Dee you are correct. A good coat of wax will help stop watermarks etching into the paint.

Hi joel,
I have a 2007 black mps3 and I am experiencing a lot of trouble with these watermarks on my bonnet and roof. I have tried everything and spent almost $200 on cutting compounds, polishers, scratch X removers. These marks dont come off with a damp cloth they are almost in the clear coat, could you recommend anything else I could try?
