My cars get rather dusty due to being in a carport and not a garage.
And then it rains and the water attracts the dirt into the drops and when it dries leaves the dirty water marks. Now usually if you clean it before the days end or a couple of days just rubbing it with a wet cloth will get rid of it. But I've left it a bit long on one of my cars and I couldnt get rid of it. I used some polish but that didnt get rid of it either. You can only see the water marks if you look at a certain angle. Most of the time the panel looks perfect. What is the best method to get rid of water marks? I'm not after prevention because its just that I forgot to wax the car, so I know how to prevent it I just need to know how to get rid of it once the water marks have taken hold. |

You sure its caused from water? sounds more like sap damage or from bird s**t.

Definately water. My car goes no where near trees or birds. I wouldnt allow bird s**t to stay on my car as soon as I see it.

when dust lands on your car and moisture finds it wether it be a heavy due or rain it mixes with the dust particals. then when the moisture evaporates the dust particals act like sand paper and there for removes a slight layer on the paint work, hence you get water marks.
A mild cut and polishwill remove this, A good wax like meguires yellow wax will help prevent this also. |
