What to Do About Those Pesky Water Spots on Your Car's Paint

When dealing with water spots you need to know that there are two basic types. The first type is basically just mineral deposits left behind on the surface of the paint after the water has evaporated. This type of spot can usually be removed easily with the use of a clay bar and/or a light cleaner polish. This mobile car wash for sale is the most common type of water spot. This can be easily prevented by simply making sure water doesn't sit on your car for an extended period of time (even clean water).
Even the "cleanest" water may have some minerals in it that can immediately start attacking your paint's surface. It key to preventing water spots is to not be patient with water!
The second type of water spot is the kind that has etched below the surface of the vehicle's paint. This is when water sits on the paint surface for long enough to react with it and cause it to corrode away into the clear coat.
Typically, this happens when a car is left out in the rain, or parked next to lawn sprinklers. When we polish our vehicle's finish we are basically removing small amounts of paint or clear coat. Since this type of water spot has etched its way into your vehicles finish, you will have to remove enough paint to get to the lowest point of the spot. This usually requires some form of machine polishing and an aggressive pad/polish combination. Keeping in mind of course that we always want to use the least aggressive method needed to achieve our goal. In some cases the spots may have actually etched so deep that wet sanding is required, or they may even be too deep to be safely and fully removed.
The lesson here is to keep your car as clean and dry as possible. If you do not have the luxury of parking your car indoors, just plan on washing, or at minimum, quick-detailing your car off after a rain storm or other wet mishap.
