Hard Water spots again...

[shopking68]

Well if Mondays were not bad enough, came out yesterday at 5pm to leave work and my car is covered in hard water spots from my company's sprinklers. They usually water in the morning before I get there, but someone must of turn them on in the afternoon. Of course I was furious. I had my Maxima looking great... :wall

I went to the car wash, but of course it didn't help any with the spots. The trunk and the hood and the worst as you can see in these pics I took when I got home. But this is something I know I can fix

I started with clay baring the hood and trunk, just gonna concentrate on the worst areas of the car at a time. Then I used the Wolfgang swirl remover with my orange pad, it worked great, but there are still some water spots if you look closely in the right light. In these pics I have not used any polish or sealant yet.

You might not be able to see them, but there are still some light hard water rings on the hood and trunk. A couple questions...

How would I go about getting the rest of those off? What is the best speed to use that DeWalt polisher on?

Thanks for any help!:thanks

Wes

You might try the next time you work on the car using a paint cleaner like PB PP or you can get one OTC...with your PC it will help clean up that spots that are left..its worked for me in the past
