3D Eraser Water Spot Remover How To Video

Has anyone tried it yet?
Curious if it will work where my windshield sprayers are .
Water spots around them forever that I've never removed.

I tried it on my dad's car in a small area that has water spots on the paint coating that is on the car. I tried two applications and it didn't touch the water spots. It would probably work on water spots that are fresh. I would say the one's on my dad's car are maybe a few weeks old.
 
If you watch it full screen and HD, at 2:37 you can clearly still see the water spots in the light reflection by his left hand.
 
Vinegar (white) will work on fresh water spots.

The rings I have around my sprayers have been there almost as long as I've owned the vehicle. So i guess they will remain permanently. No need to try unless 3d thinks it may work.

Please keep in mind that this video isn't designed to be a Click N Brag. It's a how to video created for demonstration purposes. The instructor also states that multiple applications may be necessary for removing stubborn water spots which this vehicle obviously has.

 
David, while everything you've said is correct perhaps when putting out a clip like this it would be wise to apply the number of steps needed to cure the problem. Edit the clip while stating what happened behind the scenes and showing the panel with problem gone. As this is a how to video, one is left knowing how to apply a product and still leave the spots.
 
Agree with you to a point. But I personally think the video gets the point across clearly to someone wanting to know/understand how the product works. If ones objective is to look at it overly critical then the video might not serve its intended purpose.
 
I have enjoyed using some of the chemicals from 3D. Price range has been moderate for me, and it was all around a good experience.

I cannot say that about the 3D eraser; Absolutely poor performance of this with such a small user window. I had a windshield that just could not get clean, the cleaner worked in several random spots after each application. total of 4 attempts to cover windshield with a clay prep. Maybe it works better on paint than with glass. Maybe I had a bat bottle( mine was not clear green).
I ended up using DG nuglass aprox 30 minutes to get the glass completely restored. I feel that a good acid etch product could have done the same. I have seen good results before at a body shop with some of those products.

Yeah but you guys went out of your way to show many before shots without any remotely close after shots...
 
Posting up some more feedback. I have been disappointed with this products performance since the first time I have used it. My brother brought his car over yesterday (Sunday) that had some water spots from Friday. Tried this again with a microfiber applicator and it didnt do anything to the water spots. I let it sit for the recommended time and applied multiple applications. The water spots still remained. So out of the 5 times I have used it, all 5 times the product has failed to do any sort of removal.

I hate to say it but I would not recommend this.
 
Many times when you think a product isnt good, it might not be the product, but the severity of the problem. Especially when you dont test it against a like kind product. Dwell time and agitation will produce quicker/better results with Eraser as it allows the product to loosen up the bonded contaminant. We actually use it with a DA and a foam cutting pad at our shop and it produces excellent results.
 
If I am going to use it with a foam cutting pad then why not just use a a polish? The fact that 3D eraser didnt remove water spots after a couple days is a bit disappointing. Multiple applications with a microfiber pad didnt help either. This is just my personal experience with the product. Others may have had better results. But for me this is something that just doesnt perform.
 
Using a polish via machine will remove paint (along with the contaminants). Using Eraser in the same scenario wont. In many cases, doing it the latter way is more beneficial. Im sorry you didnt have luck with Eraser. Id love to get a comparison with it against another WSR to see if its a product problem, or a situation where something else is required?
 
You are correct that polishing will remove paint. That cutting pad with eraser you mentioned will also be removing paint.

I was looking for something that would remove water spots from a coating instead of polishing the coating off and reapplying.
